Former San Diego State quarterback and ‘Aztec For Life’ Ryan Katz has been signed by the Denver Broncos.

The 6-foot-1, 210 pound quarterback went undrafted, but was quickly signed by Denver as an undrafted free agent.

After transferring to SDSU from Oregon State, Katz had an impressive 2012 campaign but had his season cut short due to an ankle injury. He will now compete for a roster spot and ultimately a chance to learn under perennial All-Pro quarterback Peyton Manning.

Congratulations to Ryan!

The 6-foot-3, 210-pound wide receiver was drafted in the 7th round of the 2013 NFL Draft. He was the 209th overall pick in the draft.

Butler impressed scouts at the San Diego State Pro Day in March by posting a 4.36 40-yard dash, a 39-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-9 broad jump. He is now the second in his family to play in the NFL, as his father Bobby Butler played for the Atlanta Falcons.

Congratulations to Brice!
