Virgil Green, TE

Last year, I was really hoping that Green would make an impact with the Broncos, but Owen Daniels ended up taking over the role of starting tight end. Even though that Jeff Heuerman is set to return from his ACL injury, I fully believe that he can play a huge part into the offense this season.

Now that he has one year of the Kubiak system under his belt and with Daniels no longer on the team, for the time being, (something tells me he could return to the Broncos) Green should have an increased role and could help Heuerman learn the offense.

I mean, there has to be a reason Elway signed Green and not Julius Thomas last season. I look forward for him to have a solid season in 2016.
