UCF offensive tackle Paul Rubelt.
The Denver Broncos have brought in 1 of the most intriguing offensive tackle prospects in the 2026 NFL draft for an in-person look — and if he ends up with the Broncos, it could make their offensive line look more like an NBA roster than an NFL roster.
That player is 6-foot-10, 313-pound UCF offensive tackle Paul Rubelt — a Frankfurt, Germany, native who would be a sight to behold standing next to 6-foot-8, 315-pound Broncos offensive tackle Frank Crum.
“Per source,Broncos held top 30 visit with Central Florida OT Paul Rubelt,” Denver 9News reporter Mike Klis wrote on his official X account on Friday. “(Crum is) 6-10, 313 — Taller than Frank Crum! Two-year starter at LT and RT. From Frankfurt, Germany. Had a great Pro Day — elite numbers for size. (32-inch Vertical).”
The truly elite number from Rubelt’s testing is probably his 40-yard dash time, where he came in at a relatively blazing 4.99 seconds — incredible speed for a man his size. Rubelt also showed he has the versatility NFL teams covet over the last 2 seasons, starting 12 games at right offensive tackle in 2024 and 10 games at left offensive tackle in 2025.
“If you take a shot at (drafting) me, I’ll give you my all,” Rubelt told 247Sports when asked what his message to NFL teams was. “Whoever takes a chance on me, they won’t regret it.”
