Denver Broncos Offensive Lineman Player Profile: Manase Foketi
By Craig Hurst
As training camp gets into full swing and becomes part of our normal days, I’m continuing to work through the current Denver Bronco roster to shed some light on the offensive linemen of the Denver Broncos. As much as Bronco fans love training camp and the start of a new season, it means so much more to a person/player like Manase Foketi, who is no doubt going to be fighting for a permanent roster spot in 2013.
