It took a while, but Troy Fumagalli has found the end zone in the NFL!
The former Wisconsin Badgers tight end had a productive college career and was taken in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos. Unfortunately, he would miss all of that season on the Injured Reserve.

Entering Sunday’s game, he had just two catches for 16 yards on the year, but he ran a nice route on his scoring play. Fumagalli ran an out route before cutting back inside and breaking free. It left him wide open for an easy pitch-and-catch from three yards out.
