The Denver Broncos are off to a very good start at training camp. Which players stood out on day five with full pads and contact?
The Denver Broncos get an off day on Thursday, so players are undoubtedly going to be spending time resting, getting some recovery time in, and making necessary adjustments for the next part of the training camp grind.
Through the first four days of camp, a number of players had done their best to turn heads, while others still have a long way to go.
We took a look at a few of the players who are standing out in the early goings of camp here.
The Broncos aren’t going to be crowned anything anytime soon. Though this is a team with a number of players and coaches who helped win Super Bowl 50, the roster looks so much different than it did a couple of years ago and the culture of the team has changed quite a bit.
The Broncos’ identity as a whole is going to take on some major change in 2018.
With Peyton Manning leading the way, the Broncos were a team that could manipulate teams throughout the game (albeit much less efficiently on the back end of his career) with an elite passing attack.
With the defense leading the way, the Broncos were on the extreme other end of the spectrum, shifting the tide of every game with huge defensive plays and special teams dominance.
After just two days of in-person observation, it’s pretty clear that this Broncos team is going to be much more balanced than in previous years.
The most balanced team the Broncos have had in the last two or three decades was the 2012 team which ranked near the top of the league in every major category. I don’t know that this year’s team will come close to that kind of production (offensively, at least) but they appear to have filled some major holes on last year’s team with players capable of being consistently productive.
With all of that being said, here are a few more standout players from camp day five, which was action-packed throughout…
