Jordan Taylor, age 26
Likely missing the entire 2018 offseason after hip surgery, Taylor has made some big catches with the Broncos and is best known for his work helping Peyton Manning rehab in 2015.
Taylor may be looking at starting the 2018 season on the PUP, and it’ll be hard to justify taking someone else off the roster to bring him back.
Tim Patrick, age 24
One of the players vying for a roster spot at receiver, Patrick is a big-bodied wide out who presents a mismatch in the red zone. He’s got a massive catch radius and impressed the Broncos’ coaching staff at OTAs.
River Cracraft, age 23
Slot receiver who caught the Broncos’ eye in 2017, Cracraft is a player to watch in training camp with strong hands and the ability to work the short-intermediate part of the field.
Jordan Leslie, age 26
Leslie has seen some regular season action but hasn’t been able to stay on the field consistently. He’s got good size and speed but will need to make a lot of big plays in camp to find his way onto the roster.
Kenny Bell, age 26
Bell has football in his bloodlines, but is running out of chances in the NFL. He’s got the ability to return kicks but needs to stay healthy. He might be the most freakish athlete on the team.
John Diarse, age 23
Watching Diarse in college reminded me somewhat of Anquan Boldin. He’s a big, physical style of receiver who generated some buzz at Broncos OTAs.
Jimmy Williams, age 23
Williams is a smaller receiver who’s got some good speed and the ability to make big plays downfield. He’ll have to make a lot of standout plays like the rest of these guys in order to win a roster spot.
