What the Denver Broncos are experiencing as a resurgent franchise was initially supposed to include a number of young players who, for one reason or another, didn't end up sticking on the roster. Inconsistency on the field, injury issues, contract issues...there were a lot of reasons for certain guys not getting to be part of what Broncos Country is experiencing today.
One player who was still with the team as recently as 2023, but ended up as a surprising mid-training camp cut, was former second-round pick KJ Hamler. Hamler showed off his potential with the Broncos early in his career, but unfortunately couldn't stay on the field due to injuries.
