In the final installment of the Denver Broncos evaluation series, we take a look at the special teams ahead of training camp.

Alright folks. We are not too far away from the start of training camp. The Denver Broncos will begin their quest towards back-to-back Super Bowl victories. The path will not be easy for the men who will wear the orange and blue, but this team has as much of a chance as the other 31 teams in the league.

The Denver Broncos special teams was pretty solid last year. It was a unit last year that just could not get things going for the majority of the season. Perhaps the best kicker in franchise history not named Jason Elam was suspended to begin the 2014 season for drinking.

Matt Prater never even got to win the job back as he was released by the Denver Broncos. Punter Britton Colquitt did not make things easier for the special teams in 2014 as he struggled to get anything going.

The returning game was okay, but did not really give anyone reason to worry. Trindon Holliday was a shell of his former self and would be later released by the Broncos sometime after their Super Bowl loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The team never had a returner with the skills of Holliday in 2014.

With all of that said, the 2015 special teams actually had some solid moments. But we will get into that right now. For the final time in 2016, we take a look at the final unit for the Denver Broncos. The special teams.

For this, I will be looking at the kicker, punter(s), and long snapper only. And I will also give my take on who on the roster could be a solid choice at returner.

So, let us for the final time in 2016, evaluate the Denver Broncos, the special teams unit edition.
