Is there room for Royce Freeman in the backfield with Melvin Gordon and Phillip Lindsay?
Royce Freeman got more touches in his second year, but he still was RB2 behind Phillip Lindsay in 2019 just like he was in 2018. Lindsay (224) and Freeman (132) combined for all but one of the carries by a running back for the 2019 Broncos. Andy Janovich had that one carry. If you count Andrew Beck as a FB, then he had one carry as well.
Royce Freeman was a third round...

Duke Dawson Jr
Defensive Back #20
Experience: 3 years
Height: 5-foot-10
Weight: 198 pounds
Age: 24
College: Florida
When the 2019 season began Duke Dawson was on the roster primarily to add depth to the defensive backfield. When the Broncos traded for Dawson the thought was that Bryce Callahan would be the starter, and Isaac Yiadom would get the lion’s share of playing time off the bench.
When Callahan went down for the season, a...
Simmons, 27 in November, graded out as the second-best safety in the NFL last year, according to Pro Football Focus. The traditional stats also positioned him as a stud.

Rookies are never given much love in Madden ratings, so Jerry Jeudy wasn’t pleased with how poorly he showed up in some key areas.

Noah Fant had a decent season as a rookie. Using the average improvement from recent rookie to second year TEs let’s see if we can predict what he might do in 2020.
Noah Fant finished his rookie campaign with 40 catches for 562 yards and three touchdowns. Among rookie tight ends since the merger his 40 catches is tied for 31st, his receiving yards are 15th and his touchdowns don’t even put him in the top 50.
There have been 56 rookie TEs in the...

One of the linchpins of the Orange Crush defense, linebacker Randy Gradishar, a monster tackling machine, was the soul of the legendary unit.
Good morning, Broncos Country!While the 2020 season remains in doubt, it seems a good time to recall a simpler year when the football was less complicated - and the uniforms were much cooler.
On our Something Something Broncos podcast this week, Tim, Jess and I talked about the historic Orange Crush defense,...

The big unknown has a lot to prove.
Only three members of the Broncos’ offensive line remains from before Mike Munchak was hired to coach the group: Garett Bolles, Elijah Wilkinson, and Nico Falah. The first two are set to compete for a starting job at left tackle as they play out expiring contracts. The latter merely hopes to make the roster after an injury derailed his 2019 before it got...

COVID-19 complicates things, but Simmons deserves a long-term deal.
Ever since I began studying the Broncos’ film, Justin Simmons has shown flashes of dominance. I started writing for Mile High Report three summers ago, and while his 2017 ended with an injury, he showed moments that led me to writing this:
He was easily the best safety in the secondary...

The Hall-of-Fame safety who played under Shanahan tells Broncos Country Tonight he couldn’t be happier for his former coach’s selection to the Broncos’ Ring of Fame.
When Steve Atwater learned that Mike Shanahan was the Broncos’ newest Ring of Fame inductee, he was “so fired up about that.”

Can he bounce back in 2020?
“He’s there every day with a great attitude and a great work ethic, and I’ll be shocked if he’s not as good as new when you guys see him again.”
It feels like a lifetime ago that Vic Fangio said those words at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. What’s happened between now and then has almost made it too easy to forget the fifth overall pick from the...

Digging into the narratives around the Broncos’ tight end.
It isn’t difficult to make an argument that Noah Fant was among the Broncos’ most polarizing players in 2019. He was acquired after John Elway traded down from 10th overall, which all but handed Devin Bush to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The first play of his NFL career was a five-yard loss on a TE end around. At points during his rookie campaign the “B” word was...

The Denver Broncos pulled together a statement win in Week 12 of the 2015 season with a comeback against the undefeated New England Patriots on national television.
There was plenty of uncertainty heading into the Week 12 for the Denver Broncos. While they were 8-2 and still in a strong position to make a playoff run, they had lost Peyton Manning to a foot injury and Brock Osweiler was coming off his first career start. Denver won that game, but Osweiler was a bit shaky at times. Then to be...
