The biggest change for the Denver Broncos this season is who calls the plays on offense.
When Broncos head coach Sean Payton decided to give play-calling duties to Davis Webb in February, that was surprising as well. It’s not easy to relinquish something when you’re really good at it, and that’s what Payton has been as an offensive playcaller over the course of his coaching career in the NFL. But it also speaks to the trust that Payton has in Webb to take on that role.
One of the looming questions will be what the...

With Denver Broncos training camp on the horizon, Cody Roark and Rachel Vigil break down the Broncos wide receiver room and debate how many players will make the active roster at this position and the storylines surrounding the room on the latest Orange Crush podcast.
The post Orange Crush: Denver Broncos Training Camp WR Preview appeared first on Mile High Sports.
Welcome to the most difficult top five list yet in this series. There have been so many great wide receivers in Denver Broncos history that this was seriously difficult to make decisions on. The top two were easy enough, but I could have put about eight players into those final three spots and I may have to mention all of them to ensure readers that I fought to find reasons for each.
For me, Demaryius Thomas is easily the most talented and most dominant wide receiver in team history. He is followed closely by Rod Smith. From there, I had...

Good morning, Broncos Country. I hope you are all enjoying your start to July and have an amazing Fourth of July weekend holiday. Be safe, have some fun, get outdoors, and enjoy time with friends and family.
According to CBS Sports NFL writer Kevin Dubin, he believes that the Broncos’ duo of Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton has the potential to be one of the best in the NFL for the 2026 season. Denver’s new tandem came in at sixth in his overall rankings. Dubin highlights Waddle’s deep ball and yard after the catch ability, as well as Sutton’s prowess...

This might surprise a lot of people, but the Denver Broncos have not had many great tight ends in its history. There have been some good tight ends and one great one, but mostly just a slew of above average or just decent tight ends. I hate to say it, but its true.
My list obviously starts with Shannon Sharpe, who was easily the greatest tight end in team history. Riley Odoms is the other obvious candidate, then I’d put in Julius Thomas and Dwayne Carswell. For the final spot, I really struggled to find a guy I felt deserved...

Heading into the 2025 season, many of us, myself included, overlooked safety Devon Key and did not think he belonged on the Denver Broncos 53-man roster. A lot of this stemmed from Key’s performance in 2024 in spot duty vs. the Baltimore Ravens. Lamar Jackson and company had their way with the Broncos’ secondary, and Key was unfortunately in the center of that mess. However, Key bounced back from that and made the Broncos’ 53-man roster in 2025 and would go on to become an often-overlooked but key member of the team.
I say often overlooked because what he did,...

Sports Illustrated NFL writer Matt Verderame has the Denver Broncos tandem of Nik Bonitto and Zach Allen as the 3rd-best pass-rushing duo in the NFL in 2026. I honestly can’t disagree. Both Bonitto and Allen are at the top of their game. They create absolute havoc up front and helped the Broncos lead the NFL with 68 sacks in 2025 and chipped in 14 and 7 respectively.
Bonitto is undeniable as one of the NFL’s best pass rushers. Allen is coming off his second season in a row of 40+ QB hits. The Broncos’ defensive front is far more than...

The running back room was on course to look mostly just like it did last season for the Denver Broncos. That is until the 2026 NFL Draft rolled around and on Day 3 Denver drafted Jonah Coleman. His addition adds great insurance behind JK Dobbins. Dobbins was having a fantastic season before injury and the running game never quite looked the same after he went down. So that begs the question, which of these guys will have the most impact on the offense? Vote below and we’ll be back later this week with the results!

The Denver Broncos roster is ready to compete for a Super Bowl.
They came up one game short last year, losing in the AFC Championship Game.
But they didn’t have Bo Nix, who landed in one Top 100 NFL players list this offseason.
We’re about three weeks away from rookies reporting for training camp, and a month away from veterans showing up to Dove Valley.
And when the entire team gets to south Denver, they’ll be part of one of the best teams in the NFL.
That, per Pro...
Full steam ahead, we’re doing the Top 5 running backs in Denver Broncos history in this post. There is a near universal number one and then plenty of disagreement from there. I’ll start with mine and then share each of our Mile High Report staff’s takes on this topic.
The obvious number one for me is going to Hall of Famer Terrell Davis. The man who brought Broncos’ fans the first title to the Mile High City. Who doesn’t love TD? After that, we go to the only other Hall of Fame running back in team history in the late,...

The Denver Broncos begin their preparations for the 2026 season with the secondary being one of the premier strengths of the team. Top to bottom, you’ll find quality players at both cornerback and safety. Their group of cornerbacks, led by Patrick Surtain II, is arguably the deepest and most versatile in the National Football League.
Having top-tier starters is important, but sporting quality depth is also critical. Entering his third year in the NFL, former Mizzou standout Kris Abrams-Draine is the incumbent fifth cornerback for Vance Joseph’s defense. He will continue to be an important backup for the franchise.
