The Denver Broncos are 3-0 after their 24-12 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night. Through the first three games, the Broncos appear to be getting into sync with the offense while the defense has been dominating.
However, there is one player in orange and blue who had high expectations but has not not gotten many opportunities. That player in question is wide out Cody Latimer.
I am really surprised that the Broncos have not utilized him more in the offense. However, according to Rotoworld, Gary Kubiak noticed that Cody Latimer has not made enough plays in the preseason. For a player that had so much hype, it seems as if he is not getting his chances.
Bennie Fowler also now appears to be above Cody Latimer on the depth chart. Hmmm.

As a fan, I really enjoyed hearing when Cody Latimer was drafted by the Broncos. However, it appears as if he is in Gary Kubiak’s doghouse for the time being. Although, it has not been clear as to why he is there in the first place.
During the offseason, there was a lot of praise about how he has improved from his struggles from learning with Peyton Manning. It was apparent that this would be a sophomore year worth remembering. However, every receiver on the active roster has at least one catch. Cody Latimer has only seen a handful of snaps this entire season.
The worst thing about it. He has not been targeted at all in the passing game. That is a huge concern to me in my opinion, as well as all over Broncos Country. I still have faith that Cody Latimer will find his way into the Broncos offense.
The team, on offense, is still working on getting gelled together. Perhaps when this happens, Cody Latimer could see some looks. But for the time being, Broncos Country is searching and asking questions. Where is Cody Latimer?
What do you fans think is the reason behind the disappearance of Cody Latimer? Leave your comments below. I want to know what you all think.
