Tight end:

1. Jeff Heuerman
2. Jake Butt
3. Troy Fumagalli (R)

The tight end position will be fun to watch during the season.

Jeff Heuerman is the “vet” of the group, and will most likely start the season as the TE1. However, Jake Butt should become the team’s go-to guy at some point in the near future.

Troy Fumagalli, selected in the 2018 draft, is a big-bodied tight end who I expect to cause problems for opposing defenses sometime during his rookie season. Tight end is not an easy position to cover. Especially not a guy like Fumagalli, who is 6’5”, 248 pounds. He is just a little bit smaller than Jake Butt.

With a quarterback who knows what he’s doing, I can see the Broncos’ tight ends having a major impact on the success of the offense as a whole.

In all, that is 25 offensive players.
