The Denver Broncos rebuild is significantly further along than anyone could have possibly hoped compared to the expectation a year ago. The Broncos appear to have a long-term franchise quarterback in Bo Nix, and the offensive line is a top 5-10 unit in the league with four of the five starters locked up for multiple seasons.

Denver certainly exceeded expectations in Year 1 with Bo Nix, but the team will look to avoid a sophomore slump from their rookie quarterback.

Sean Payton had ‘Joker-type’ players in Jeremy Shockey and Jimmy Graham earlier in his career. Will he now add one to the Broncos’ offense?
