Broncos position preview: High expectations after offseason of change for Denver’s special teams

On the roster (3): Wil Lutz (PK), Jeremy Crawshaw (P), Mitch Fraboni (LS)

How many on the 53? Three.

Most impactful offseason move: Firing coordinator Ben Kotwica and hiring Darren Rizzi. Plus drafting Crawshaw in the sixth round.

The Broncos were good overall under Kotwica, but head coach Sean Payton thought they needed to get better. So he let Kotwica go after the season and eventually reunited with Rizzi. The long-time New Orleans special teams coach was the Saints’ interim head coach for the final eight games but didn’t get the permanent job there.
