Xavier Truss might be a diamond in the rough for the Denver Broncos

Xavier Truss might be a diamond in the rough for the Denver Broncos

Rookie offensive lineman Xavier Truss is an intriguing developmental prospect for the Denver Broncos.

The Denver Broncos have one of the greatest track records in the National Football League when it comes to finding and developing talent as undrafted free agents.

In all but one season over the past 21 years, the Broncos have had an undrafted rookie make their final 53-man roster. The franchise signed fifteen college free agents at the end of the 2025 NFL Draft, but one of them certainly stands above the rest. That would be 6’7” Georgia offensive lineman Xavier Truss.

A four-star recruit, the...

Horse Tracks: Broncos and Rockies: What a difference ownership makes

The two franchises could not be more different.

On Friday, the historically awful Colorado Rockies invited Broncos quarterback Bo Nix to throw out the ceremonial first pitch.

He should have turned them down.

When looking at teams like the Dallas Cowboys, Carolina Panthers, and Las Vegas Raiders, it’s apparent that ownership matters. Or, more importantly, bad ownership matters.

The Denver Broncos know a thing or two about this. For years, they were a rudderless ship with executive Joe Ellis running things. With no checks or balances, Joe did what he wanted and the franchise floundered for nearly a decade.

WR/KR Marvin Mims Jr. is going to be a major part of the Broncos offense this upcoming season

WR/KR Marvin Mims Jr. is going to be a major part of the Broncos offense this upcoming season

Broncos wide receiver/returner had a breakout year last season and will look to continue that this upcoming season.

In the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos traded up into the second round and selected Oklahoma wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr.. The explosive wide receiver was Sean Payton’s first draft selection with the Broncos, and he was expected to become an immediate playmaker and deep threat in their offense. Unfortunately, that did not happen, and things started slowly for Mims, at least on the offensive side of the ball.

In his rookie year with the Broncos, Mims...

Broncos predicted to win AFC West, beat Chiefs in the playoffs

The fact these predictions are happening is a testament to Sean Payton changing the culture and Bo Nix being the QB.

Good morning, Broncos Country!

After winning Super Bowl 50, it’s been a rough stretch for the Denver Broncos.

Losing seasons stacked upon no playoff appearances and no starting quarterback. To make matters even worse, the best team in the league over that period has been the Kansas City Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahomes.

Now, in the third year of the Sean Payton era in Denver, the Broncos are back in the national spotlight and expect to compete, not...

Broncos roster review: Wide Receiver Jerjuan Newton

Broncos roster review: Wide Receiver Jerjuan Newton

The undrafted rookie Jerjuan Newton will look to push for a roster spot this summer.

At the conclusion of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos signed Toledo wide receiver Jerjuan Newton to an undrafted free agent contract. He did not receive a signing bonus from the Broncos but did receive a $10,000 guaranteed contract from the team, according to 9NEWS Denver’s Mike Klis.

Newton played a total of six seasons at Toledo (2019 through 2024) and had a productive career for them during that span. During his six seasons, he appeared in 63 games and totaled 206 receptions for...

Horse Tracks: Fans split on potential second-year breakout candidate

Horse Tracks: Fans split on potential second-year breakout candidate

There is no consensus on who Denver Broncos fans like the most out of the second-year players in 2025.

This survey surprised me. I went into this thinking there were likely two top-tier candidates to breakout for the Denver Broncos in 2025 and two guys that probably have a longer shot. And the two top-tier candidates ended up first and last on this final result.

Fans were pretty evenly split between edge rusher Jonah Elliss and wide receivers Devaughn Vele and Troy Franklin. With running back Audric Estime a distant fourth.

I actually voted for Estime in this survey. I...

Jonah Elliss has the potential to make the Broncos defense even more dangerous this upcoming season

Jonah Elliss having a breakout year would make the Broncos pass rush even more dangerous in 2025.

With their 76th overall pick in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos selected Utah edge rusher Jonah Elliss. He was added to a Broncos edge rushing unit that had more questions than answers at the time and was viewed as someone who could push to start his rookie season.

However, that never happened because Nik Bonitto had a breakout year while he and Jonathon Cooper were one of the better pass-rushing duos in the NFL. Elliss spent his...

Good Morning Broncos Country!

Good Morning, Broncos Country!

Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant recently had an interview with Kay Adams and told her that quarterback Bo Nix already has a quarterback and wide receiver vacation/retreat planned for the offseason.

Bryant says they are all going on vacation together, but also putting in some work while they are together. He says they’re going to work out, run some routes, and get some throws in during this vacation/retreat. Nix called him immediately after being drafted and then had him in a group chat where he planned this entire vacation.

Rookie WR Pat Bryant could have an instant impact on the Broncos offense

The Denver Broncos third round pick has an opportunity to contribute right away this upcoming season.

In the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos selected Illinois wide receiver Pat Bryant. He is a 6’2, 204-pound wide receiver who is considered a sure-handed possession receiver and one of the better run-blocking receivers in the draft.

Bryant played a total of four seasons at Illinois and is coming off his best season with the team. During his four-year career, Bryant played in 46 games, which included 35 starts, and totaled 137 receptions for 2,095 yards and 19 touchdowns....

Good morning, Broncos Country.

It’s the dearth days of the offseason. The NFL Draft is over, the 2025 schedule has been released, and we are quite a way out from OTAs and training camp.

WR Troy Franklin is a breakout candidate for the Broncos this upcoming season

The speedy Troy Franklin could have a breakout year this upcoming season.

After going home and sleeping on it, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton woke up wanting to draft Oregon wide receiver Troy Franklin. He even texted GM George Paton early that morning, alerting him of his desire to trade up and select Franklin. After making some calls, the Broncos were indeed able to trade up and select Oregon wide receiver Troy Franklin with their 102nd overall pick in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Franklin was reuniting with his college teammate and quarterback, Bo Nix, in...

Horse Tracks: Broncos get preseason work against the Arizona Cardinals

The Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals will work a joint practice before their preseason game in Denver.

This year, the Denver Broncos will get some extra preseason work with the Arizona Cardinals before their game on August 16th.

Given their proximity, the teams seem to play each other fairly often in the preseason, with 30 games in their preseason history.

I always look forward to joint practices in the preseason as you can tell a lot about the state of the team based on how the practices and game go.

There’s nothing like competition to bring out the best in...
