Evan Engram can help Bo Nix, Denver Broncos offense take next step

Developing chemistry and rapport in practice will lead to success for that duo and Denver’s offense when it counts.

Good morning, Broncos Country!

Evan Engram was the splashy move on offense this offseason.

Labeled as “the Joker” for the Denver Broncos, having a viable tight end is massive for a Sean Payton offense. It’ll also be an added element for quarterback Bo Nix as he looks to take the next step in Year 2. A tight end threat that Nix didn’t have in his rookie season. Having Engram in the fold opens up so many possibilities for Payton and...

Jahdae Barron will be an impact defender for the Denver Broncos in 2025

Jahdae Barron’s versatility and skillset have him poised to make an impact as rookie for the Denver Broncos.

The Denver Broncos surprised fans across the National Football League when they selected Texas defensive back Jahdae Barron in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

For weeks leading up to April’s festivities, most of the talk surrounded drafting a running back, tight end, or receiver to give Bo Nix more help on offense. With reigning Defensive Player of the Year Patrick Surtain II and solid of roster of defensive backs, drafting another early didn’t seem likely, and wasn’t a thought...

Bo Nix ready to take the next step forward with the Denver Broncos

Bo Nix ready to take the next step forward with the Denver Broncos

Despite a quality rookie campaign in 2024, Bo Nix is looking forward to progressing in his second year as quarterback of the Denver Broncos.

For the first time in a long time, Denver Broncos fans don’t need to worry too much with respect to the quarterback position.

Acclimating from the college to the pros offers a steep learning curve to all young players. That’s especially true when it comes to signal callers. It’s quite rare to see a rookie at the position come in and exert great command over an offense. Nevertheless, Nix performed admirably and exceeded most reasonable expectations...

Horse Tracks: Devin McCourty thinks Broncos have NFL’s best defense

Horse Tracks: Devin McCourty thinks Broncos have NFL’s best defense

The Denver Broncos - on paper at least - are not only in the conversation as the NFL’s best defense, but even taking the top spot.

With all the talk being about Bo Nix entering year two and the weapons around him, head coach Sean Payton has quietly added some key pieces to the Denver Broncos defense. With minimal turnover, they’ve added an elite inside linebacker, an elite safety, and a first round cornerback. Add it all up and Devin McCourty sees a solid candidate for the best defense in the NFL in 2025.

At the end, he did note...

Broncos CB Kris Abrams-Draine will look to build off a promising rookie year

Broncos CB Kris Abrams-Draine will look to build off a promising rookie year

Abrams-Draine is coming off a promising rookie year but will need to compete for a starting job.

With their 145th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos selected Missouri cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine. He was added to a Broncos secondary that had some questions behind All-Pro cornerback Pat Surtain II. Riley Moss was coming off a lost rookie year, Ja’Quan McMillian was looking to build on his promising 2023 season, and the team signed veteran Levi Wallace as some veteran depth.

After a solid training camp and preseason, Abrams-Draine made the Broncos' 53-man roster...

Talanoa Hufanga ready to begin next chapter of NFL journey with Broncos

After playing is first four years with the San Francisco 49ers, safety Talanoa Hufanga hopes he can help the Denver Broncos ascend to greater heights.

The Denver Broncos have a storied history when it comes to safeties.

Steve Atwater, Bill Thompson, Goose Gonsoulin, Dennis Smith, John Lynch, and Brian Dawkin. Those are just a few prolific players that come to mind that have donned the orange and blue. Throughout all decades of the franchise, you’ll come across a difference maker or enforcer on the backend of their defense.

Last year, the Broncos struck gold with free agent addition Brandon Jones,...

Broncos DE John Franklin-Myers is absent from OTA’s but it’s not contract related

Good Morning Broncos Country!

Good Morning, Broncos Country!

The Broncos hit the field for the first time this offseason to take part in OTA practices. One player absent from these practices is veteran defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers. He is entering the final year of his deal with the team and has been vocal on social media about wanting to be paid, but thankfully, his absence has nothing to do with his contract.

According to 9NEWS Denver’s Mike Klis, JFM’s agent Cliff Brady said that Franklin-Myers has not attended OTAs for a few years now, there are no contract issues, and...

Sean Payton seems to have plan for bigger role for RB Audric Estime in 2025

Sean Payton seems to have plan for bigger role for RB Audric Estime in 2025

The Denver Broncos will need someone to carry the rock in power formations in 2025 and it seems like second-year runner Audric Estime is going to be that guy.

The Denver Broncos went into the 2025 NFL Draft having let Javonte Williams walk in free agency and while many of us thought Audric Estime had a decent rookie season, most of us remember he was a healthy game-day scratch in the playoffs against the Buffalo Bills. That alone is enough to wonder if head coach Sean Payton viewed him as a long-term option as the primary short yardage back.

Well,...

Is cornerback Quinton Newsome going to take a step forward in 2025?

Is cornerback Quinton Newsome going to take a step forward in 2025?

The Denver Broncos cornerback room needs to improve compared to 2024. After a year on the practice squad, Quinton Newsome may be ready to shine.

With one of the better scouting departments in the NFL, the Denver Broncos are pretty sharp at finding diamonds in the rough through undrafted college free agents.

Quinton Newsome signed with the Broncos in 2024, knowing this team gives young players a chance to make the team no matter if they were drafted or not. The Broncos kept him on the practice squad all season and this year is in my mind his big chance...

According to Jason Fitzgerald, founder of Over The Cap, the Denver Broncos have the most players set to return to their roster for the 2025 season.

Good morning, Broncos Country.

Continuity matters. That’s especially true when it comes to forging a roster that can compete for championships in the National Football League.

Entering the third year of the Sean Payton era, the Denver Broncos have embarked on a positive turnaround in short order. From the depths to the abyss to playoff contenders in just a few seasons, the Broncos’ Brass has done a tremendous job bringing a winning culture back...

Will UDFA edge rusher Johnny Walker Jr. surprise and make the Broncos’ 53-man roster?

The Denver Broncos have a talented edge rusher group. Could rookie edge rusher Johnny Walker Jr. defy the odds and earn a spot on the final roster?

The Denver Broncos set a franchise record and led the National Football League with 63 sacks in 2024. Whether or not they are able to replicate that success this coming season remains to be seen. However, they certainly added more talent to their defensive front seven to keep that a realistic possibility.

An under-the-radar prospect that could surprise and make the final 53-man roster to keep the Broncos’ sack machine chugging along is...

Where did Nik Bonitto and Jonathan Cooper rank in pass rusher effectiveness?

Where did Nik Bonitto and Jonathan Cooper rank in pass rusher effectiveness?

Would you rather have a consistent rusher or a boom and bust rusher?

While sacks get talked about often, pressures are the truest measure of the effectiveness of a pass rusher. SISdatahub.com and pro-football-reference.com both track QB pressures, but they don’t agree. SIS is much more generous with pressures. Trey Hendrickson led the league according to both sites, but SIS credited him with 85 pressures while PFR credited him with 54.

An old debate in sports is would you rather have a consistently good player or a player that can be great in one game and terrible in the next....
