The Denver Broncos have opened the door for a potential return to the NFL by former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Ben DiNucci. According to a Twitter post made by the XFL, DiNucci has earned an invite from the Broncos to join the team's rookie minicamp.
DiNucci's lone season in the NFL was in 2020 with the Cowboys . During that campaign, he appeared in three games and started against the Philadelphia Eagles in a Week 8 road game. In the Eagles game, DiNucci passed for 180 yards with 0 touchdowns and no interceptions while getting sacked 4 times and completing just 21 of his 40 throws. He also lost two fumbles in a 23-9 loss to the Cowboys' fierce NFC East division rivals.
For our discussion on the biggest winners and losers of the 2023 NFL Draft, listen below:
The Cowboys released Ben DiNucci in August 2021 but signed him to be on their practice squad shortly thereafter. After the Cowboys waived him again in 2022, DiNucci wound up in the XFL with the Seattle Sea Dragons
The 26-year-old DiNucci turned heads with his play in the XFL, as he led the league with 2,671 passing yards. He also had 20 touchdowns and a 64.7 percent success rate on his pass attempts. In addition, he led the league with 8 completions of at least 40 yards.
At the moment, the Broncos have Jarrett Stidham and Jarrett Guarantano behind starter Russell Wilson on the team's quarterback depth chart.
The Cowboys took DiNucci in the seventh round (231st overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft.
