ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – The Denver Broncos signed former Syracuse University safety Shamarko Thomas to fill out their 53-man roster, the team announced on Tuesday, Sept 11.
Â
Thomas spent time in Denver during the preseason, but was released when the Broncos trimmed their roster to 53 players. Thomas was also a member of the Indianapolis Colts training camp roster earlier this summer.
Â
A fourth-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2013 NFL Draft, Thomas spent the 2017 season with the Buffalo Bills, where he saw action in 13 games, including one playoff contest, and tied for the team lead with nine special teams tackles.
Â
Before his time in Buffalo, Thomas played in 51 games for the Steelers from 2013-16, including three playoff games. In 60 career regular-season games over five seasons, Thomas has 62 tackles (38 on special teams).
Â
At Syracuse, Thomas was an All-BIG EAST First Team selection as a senior in 2012. He ranks sixth on the Orange record list for most tackles by a defensive back (263) and led Syracuse with 88 stops as a senior.
Â
The Broncos opened the season with a 27-24 victory over Seattle last weekend. Denver hosts Oakland on Sunday.
