I like how the Denver Broncos approached this draft. They put an emphasis on picking players who produced in college and, more importantly, were leaders and captains of their teams. It’s a sound strategy. It’s as good a strategy you can hope for in the crapshoot that is the NFL Draft. So while I like […]
A new mandate for the Denver Broncos has seemingly formed between the walls of the UCHealth Training Center. The new credo, “accountability,” was readily visible on most, if not all, of the newest members of the team during rookie orientation on Friday and Saturday. Players issued apparel with the motto printed on it, a small […]
Among the differences between this offseason and last for the Denver Broncos is that things feel a bit lighter.

[…]

When asked what rookies could be candidates to return punts for the Denver Broncos next season, head coach Vance Joseph answered with a few names, including DaeSean Hamilton and first-year pro River Cracraft.

Among the crop of Denver Broncos at this weekend’s rookie minicamp at UCHealth Training Center were multiple wide receivers, tight ends, running backs, defensive backs, and linebackers.

I can’t believe the biggest question hanging over the Colorado Rockies is: “Will they hit enough?” Imagine that. The Rockies pitching is the strength of the team. It’s trustworthy. The Rockies hitting is unreliable. It’s their weakness. Have we all stepped into some alternate universe/Bizarro World? Nope, it’s real. And it’s a problem. Let’s deal […]
New Denver Broncos starting quarterback Case Keenum told NFL Network’s “NFL Total Access” this week the biggest difference in how he played last season for the Minnesota Vikings and previous years is how he utilized his pro experience. “I think I used my experience well.

So, who are the Denver Broncos facing the most pressure in 2018? I’m not talking about guys who have a proven track record and have to continue to play at that level. I’m talking about guys who have to take their games to a level we haven’t seen yet. So, without further ado … 5. […]

By many accounts, rookie running back Royce Freeman has a compelling case to become the Denver Broncos starter come Sept. 9. Couple that with strong buzz about 2017 rookie De’Angelo Anderson and undrafted college free agent Phillip Lindsay, and Brandon Stokley said he believe Devontae Booker could be on the outside looking in when all […]
If the Denver Broncos get the Case Keenum of 2017, Denver 7 Insider Troy Renck said Monday morning, then the club has a “realistic shot” at the postseason. Keenum, who signed with the Broncos in March for a reported $36 million over two seasons, put up statistically the best year of his young NFL career […]

If the idea is the Denver Broncos can’t have “too many pass rushers,” should the club entertain the idea of bringing back one of its most prolific quarterback chasers? “Pritchard and Cecil” co-host Mike Pritchard floated the idea of reuniting Batman (Dumervil), who has been on the free agency market since being released in March […]
With the departure of Virgil Green to AFC West foes the Los Angeles Chargers in free agency, the most senior member of the Denver Broncos tight end room is 2015 third-round pick Jeff Heuerman.
