The Broncos shocked the NFL world back in 2024, and it was finally a taste of what could be to come. When George Paton first took this Broncos job back in 2021, he referred to the team as a "sleeping giant," and it took a while for that giant to be woken up.
Well, in 2024, the giant woke up a bit. The Broncos are also in a better position in 2025 than they were in 2024 at this point. Denver was 3-3 through four games in 2024, and Bo Nix, then a rookie, was obviously still learning the ropes.
