We regularly make it from the door of the plane to clearing global entry customs/immigration with no checked luggage in under 10 mins. Factor in another 10 minutes (minimum) to re-clear security and get on the train and you are likely already at boarding start time for your connecting flight.

DEN frequently has late afternoon thunderstorms in the summer months that can cause delays. If there is another flight to your destination after the currently scheduled one, it would certainly be safer.

Agreed with both of these. It *could* work, but if it were me and I had to really get where I was going, I'd find other itinerary.
