Denver Broncos
It appears the Denver Broncos are on the rise under Bo Nix, but will that rise continue in 2025? Share your opinion on where they’ll end up come January 2026.
Welp, it’s already July. July! Where has 2025 gone? In any case, I’ll be celebrating my first grandchild's second birthday tonight — which is also wild to think about. My oldest daughter was not even seven years old when I wrote my first post on Mile High Report back in 2007. Anyway, I’m off the rails here. Back to the Denver Broncos...
We’re running a summer survey this week and...

Taking a look at the hopefully, new and improved Broncos running back room as we near the start of training camp.
One of the top priorities for the Denver Broncos this past offseason was to improve their running game. Former second-round pick Javonte Williams was coming off back-to-back sluggish and poor seasons after coming back from a major knee injury and left via free agency, and signed with the Cowboys. Meanwhile, Jaleel McLaughlin and rookie Audric Estime had their struggles as well and left the Broncos with a massive hole in their offense.
Well, they addressed this need in the...

The reserve slot corner will have to fight for a roster spot in a loaded Broncos cornerback room.
After a successful college career at Indiana and Purdue, cornerback Reese Taylor went undrafted during the 2023 NFL Draft. However, he would quickly sign with the Kansas City Chiefs as an undrafted free agent and join their roster. He stayed on the roster throughout the offseason, training camp, and the preseason, but would be among the Chiefs' cuts during their final cuts. Taylor would clear waivers and sign on to the Chiefs' practice squad the following day. Unfortunately for Taylor, the Chiefs...

As a rookie, Bo Nix was insane within the goal-to-go situational passing. He was so good...
A very interesting bit of data was shared last week by Warren Sharp of Sharp Football Analysis covering quarterbacks completion rates in goal-to-go situations last season. Among the NFL’s best, Denver Broncos then rookie quarterback, Bo Nix, was among the league leaders in this stat.
There were only six quarterbacks above 60% passing and Nix was one of those. Only Lamar Jackson and Jordan Love performed better than Nix overall. We quote tweeted Sharp commenting on just how good Nix was and Sharpe graced...

Of course they can. And one sportswriter predicts they will be.
When you play in the AFC West, survival depends on either a franchise quarterback or a dominant pass-rush.
Or both.
And thankfully, the Broncos are inching toward each as quarterback Bo Nix is showing no signs of a sophomore slump, and the menacing pass-rush combo of Nik Bonitto and Jonathan Cooper looks like it should only get better after its dominating 2024.
After leading the league in sacks last year, Denver’s defense is showing no signs of slowing down.
In fact, [Bleacher Report’s Matt...

Does the former undrafted CB have a shot at the Bronco practice squad?
Mario Goodrich was on the 2018 National Champion Clemson Tiger team that produced a load of NFL talent on both sides of the ball. On defense that team had:
So Mario had plenty of players to help him learn and to lean on....

Taking a look at the Denver Broncos quarterback position as we near the start of training camp
For the first time since Peyton Manning, the Broncos' quarterback room is all but set heading into training camp. Second-year quarterback Bo Nix is coming off an impressive rookie season and is the Broncos' franchise quarterback. Returning to the team is veteran quarterback Jarrett Stidham, the longest-tenured quarterback on the team, who will once again serve as Bo Nix’s backup this season. At third-string, you have former Colts quarterback Sam Ehlinger, who signed with the team this offseason and will provide some depth...

Can Matt Henningsen overcome the odds and climb the depth chart?
After turning a college walk-on into third team all- Big 10 at Wisconsin, Matt Henningsen was drafted in the 6th round of the 2022 NFL draft by the Denver Broncos. He saw consistent snaps as a reserve defensive end and special teamer in each of his first two seasons.
After seeing consistent play as a reserve for the Broncos in his first two campaigns, Matt Henningsen was a somewhat surprising cut before the 2024 season. He was signed to the Broncos practice squad and spent the entire season on...

What other Broncos games could have nationwide appeal now that they’re relevant again?
Some fun people with way too much time at Bookies.com created a “watchability index” to compile a list of the top 25 Most Watchable and Least Watchable games in 2025.
And the Broncos made both.
Analyzing every contest on the 272-game regular season schedule, Bookies ranked every game based on its watchability, using an algorithm that factored in NFL betting lines, projected wins, and Super Bowl odds, plus the game day atmosphere/weather, major off-field storylines, and the game’s availability on national TV...

Keidron Smith surprised and made the final 53-man roster for the Denver Broncos in 2024. Will he be able to find a way to do so again this season?
The Denver Broncos had one of the strongest secondaries in the National Football League in 2024.
This offseason, they added to that strength via a mixture of signings in free agency, the 2025 NFL Draft, and several undrafted players. Without question, the training camp battles for the backup spots on the roster on the backend of the team’s defense will be some of the most competitive.
Last year, former Kentucky Wildcat...

9News got confirmation from the Lone Tree mayor’s office that city and Broncos have held held multiple meetings.
Over the last month, there’s been ample discussion of a new Denver Broncos stadium.
The current lease on Empower Field at Mile High expires after the 2030 season, and the franchise has repeatedly said that all options are on the table.
As Broncos president Demani Leech said in a February interview, “... we feel pretty soon we need to figure out what we’re doing.”
Specifically, the focus of coverage has been on the Burnham Yard area, which...

Will Sherman has been a practice squad player so far in his short time with the Broncos. Can he make the jump in 2025?
Will Sherman entered the NFL in 2021, drafted by the New England Patriots in the 6th round. After a short career there, the Denver Broncos signed him in September of 2022.
He’s been a practice squad player since that time with the Broncos and has yet to crack the depth chart for a roster spot with the team.
Height: 6’4” | Weight: 300 pounds | Age: 26 years old
