Aside from Emmanuel Sanders and Jeff Heuerman, Denver’s offensive pass-catchers will be mostly first and second year players. Combine that with a new offense and a new quarterback, and the pressure begins to mount for these young players to step up and really carve out a role on this clean slate.
Which brings us to the Broncos minicamp that kicks off this week. While still not full training camp, it will give the young pass catchers another opportunity to flash and show what they can do.
As the saying goes, you don’t win a job in the off-season, but you sure can lose a job in the off-season.
