Thoughts and feelings from the Broncos 2025 offseason.
After yesterday’s final minicamp practice, the Denver Broncos' 2025 offseason is officially in the book. They’ll have a short break over these next six or so weeks until the start of training camp, which officially kicks off the 2025 season. So, this gives us a good opportunity to take a look back at the Broncos' offseason and analyze what happened, share our thoughts, and offer our opinions on the matter.
I believe the Broncos had a strong offseason where they not only improved their offense but also significantly improved their already strong defense. The Broncos won’t be the lovable underdogs anymore as they’ll enter training camp as a team many view as on the rise with much higher expectations than they have had in previous years.
With all that said, let us take a look at the main storylines that came out of the Denver Broncos' 2025 offseason workouts.
Bo Nix is coming off an impressive rookie year that saw him grow and improve significantly throughout camp, the preseason, and during the regular season. He helped lead the Broncos back to the postseason and is now looking to improve on that in his second season with the team.
On Thursday, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton told reporters that Nix has less pause, less hesitation with the play call in the huddle and in the pocket. He continued by saying that Nix is playing fact, protecting the ball, still hard to sack, and that he is practicing “faster with more confidence”.
“Less pause, less hesitation with the play call in the huddle. Less pause, less hesitation in the pocket. He’s playing fast, and again protecting the ball. He’s hard to sack. He was hard to sack in college. You’re seeing him practice faster with more confidence.”
We saw Nix improve last year as the season went on. You could tell he was feeling more comfortable and confident out there, and the results backed that up. Now, if he’s even more confident and playing faster than before, the results could be even better this upcoming season.
This is Bo Nix’s team.
Heading into the offseason, we knew there was an emphasis on improving the Broncos' run game, and well, they did just that. In the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the selected explosive UCF running back RJ Harvey, who will fill the Alvin Kamara role in Sean Payton’s offense. Then, just this week, they signed veteran running back JK Dobbins, who was coming off a solid 2024 season with the Chargers, to a one-year deal, and he’ll fill the Mark Ingram role in Payton’s offense. On paper, the Broncos' run game looks much improved, and I believe we’ll see the results on the field improve this upcoming season as well.
Harvey figures to be a big part of the offense this upcoming season,...
