The surprise team from a year ago, the Denver Broncos come into the 2025 season looking to make a statement in the AFC. The Broncos look to improve after making their first postseason appearance since 2015 a season ago.
Denver finished 3rd in the AFC West in 2024, good enough for the last wild card spot in the AFC Playoffs. However, it was a quick playoff stint for them as they got routed by the Buffalo Bills in the 1st round.
Now entering his second NFL season, Bo Nix turned a lot of heads across the National Football League after capturing 10 wins in his rookie season. If it weren't for a masterclass of a season from Jayden Daniels, Nix would have easily been claimed the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Nix will have a new running back corps to work with in JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey. Harvey, rookie out of UCF, and Dobbins, an experienced back, could prove to be a deadly duo up in the Mile High city.
The Broncos also acquired another buddy for Bo Nix after signing tight end Evan Engram. In his recent years in Jacksonville, Engram proved to be one of the more consistent pass catching tight ends in the NFL.
Engram, Harvey, and Dobbins will look to improve the Broncos' overall offensive rankings after Denver ranked towards the bottom of the NFL in this category a season ago.
On the other hand, Denver thrived on the defensive side of the ball. The defense, lead by Pat Surtain II, ranked 7th in total defense in the entire league in 2024. Additionally, the Broncos added some highly talented players to headline the defensive corps.
Denver signed two key veterans in Talanoa Hufanga and Dre Greenlaw. The two former 49ers come over to an already stacked Denver defense looking to give opposing offenses nightmares.
Will the Broncos regress or improve after a surprising season in 2024? Will the AFC West finally crown another champion not named the Kansas City Chiefs? Bo Nix and Sean Payton are all eyes ahead on the prosperous future for the Denver Broncos.
