Jared Veldheer, age 31

Jared Veldheer has been playing at a high level in the NFL for a long time now, but staying healthy has been an issue for him.

He last played a full 16 game NFL slate in 2015.

With that said, Veldheer played and started 13 games last season and played through an injury at that, putting together a string of very solid play after transitioning to the right tackle position.

The Cardinals moved him all over the offensive line from the left side to right tackle and even to guard at times.

Veldheer will slot in nicely for the Broncos at right tackle, and hopefully, provide the team with some stability there.

Veldheer brings a great deal of leadership to the table for the Broncos as well and thankfully has taken Garett Bolles under his wing.

With Bolles and Veldheer, the Broncos will have two of the most athletic, nastiest tackles in the NFL.
