Broncos selected South Carolina C Nick Gargiulo with the No. 256 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Gargiulo (6’5/318) started his career at Yale, where he started in all but one of the 25 games he appeared in. He would transfer to South Carolina for his senior season, starting all 12 games while splitting snaps at center and guard. A versatile lineman who has ample experience on the interior and at tackle, Gargiulo could play several positions at the next level but will need to show more physicality to cut it in the pro ranks. He struggles to stay on balance with his blocks and was fine, but not great in his one season of FBS play. It goes without saying that a leap to the NFL will require an adjustment period.
