After going undrafted in the 2018 NFL draft, Schlottmann signed as an undrafted free agent with the Denver Broncos,[7] which reunited him with high school teammate Courtland Sutton.[8] He spent the entire 2018 season on the Broncos' practice squad.

He was named the starting right guard in Week 14 after starter Ronald Leary was out for the rest of the season; second-string right guard Elijah Wilkinson was moved to right tackle to fill in for starting RT Ja'Wuan James out with a knee injury.

On August 31, 2021, Schlottmann was waived by the Broncos and re-signed to the practice squad the next day.[11][12] He was promoted to the active roster on November 9.[13]
