Good morning, Broncos Country.
Prospect development isn’t the same for every player looking to make themselves in the National Football League. Some rookies take longer than others to find their way—if they ever find their way at all.
The best prospects demonstrate their game-changing ability early on, while others take a few years to hit their stride. After their Week 1 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, it’s clear the Denver Broncos were missing two key elements—explosive plays on offense and generating pressure on defense.
Didn’t the Broncos spend Day 2 draft capital on prospects who could fill those roles for the team?
