Improvement from the young players

The Broncos have a strong core of young players, mainly from the 2016 and 2018 NFL Draft class.

How much will those players have improved this year compared to last year?

They are going to be expecting a lot from guys like Bradley Chubb, Courtland Sutton, DaeSean Hamilton, Josey Jewell, Isaac Yiadom, Royce Freeman, Phillip Lindsay (who is still recovering from his wrist surgery), and a number of others.

How will these young Broncos players respond to their new responsibilities and expectations going into year two?

Will Courtland Sutton be that true no. 1 the Broncos need? Will DaeSean Hamilton be ready for full-time slot duty? Can Royce Freeman be a 1,000-yard back? Is Isaac Yiadom a starter or does he need more time?

How about Troy Fumagalli? Can he step up and be a factor in the offense this year? Is the team building around Josey Jewell at middle linebacker?

There are so many other young players on this Broncos roster which has just four players age 30 or older and only 11 players age 28 or older.

This is a young team and the responsibility being given to these young players is huge.
