The Denver Broncos signed quarterback Ben DiNucci and running back Jacques Patrick on Tuesday, adding two players who most recently starred in the XFL.
DiNucci was the XFL’s leading passer, racking up 2,671 passing yards with 20 touchdowns and 13 interceptions for the Seattle Sea Dragons. He led Seattle to one of four playoff spots in the inaugural season of the “XFL 3.0.”
