Max McCaffrey, the former Duke receiver and the oldest son of Ed McCaffrey, will work out for the Broncos on Tuesday.

ESPN’s Jeff Legwold first reported his pending visit.

Max, a former Valor Christian standout, turned heads with his performance at Duke’s Pro Day last month, when he recorded a 4.4-second 40-yard dash and a 36-inch vertical jump.

Last season he led the Blue Devils with 52 catches, 643 receiving yards and five touchdowns to cap his four-year career with 117 receptions, 1,341 yards and 12 touchdowns.

The Broncos’ recent re-signing of Jordan Norwood gives them six receivers heading into offseason workouts and training camp, with Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, Bennie Fowler, Cody Latimer and Jordan Taylor all returning. Should Max impress again Tuesday, the Broncos could give him a shot to compete in training camp and even vie for a spot on the practice squad.

Ben Clarke, a former Chatfield High and University of Hawaii offensive lineman, is also scheduled to work out for the Broncos on Tuesday.

Clarke (6-foot-3, 305 pounds) played his first two collegiate seasons at center before shifting to left tackle for the last two. In 2015, he was named Hawaii’s MVP and was an honorable mention All-Mountain West selection for all four year seasons with the Rainbow Warriors.

A Littleton native, Clarke played through a broken foot last season to start every game (50) in his college career.

A Hawaii’s Pro Day in March, he benched 19 reps of 225 pounds and recorded a 30-inch vertical jump, 8-foot-8-inch broad jump, 4.95-second 20-yard shuttle and an 8.03-second three-cone drill, according to NFL Draft Scout.

Clarke has been training with former CU and Broncos lineman Matt McChesney at Six Zero Strength and Fitness in Centennial in advance of the draft.
