Courtland Sutton is going to play a major role

The Broncos’ deepest position group following the 2018 NFL Draft offensively is probably the wide receiver position.

With Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders both returning at 100 percent, snaps could be tough to come by but Courtland Sutton is already being written into the offensive gameplan, according to Vance Joseph.

Joseph revealed that the Broncos will rotate Sutton into the slot, among other things.

The Broncos have a really special athlete on their hands in Sutton, and they can’t afford to let him waste away on the sideline with his big-play abilities.

They made that mistake with Cody Latimer, not getting him onto the field enough in his first two seasons to get his feet wet.

Sutton will have a spot in this deep rotation for Denver this season.
