Kevin Hogan – QB

Wait a minute, why am I putting Kevin Hogan on this list? He is a veteran. Hogan could thrive in the Scangarello offense. The only other veteran quarterback on the roster besides Joe Flacco.

Here is why I believe Kevin Hogan is on the roster bubble. He only has one start in his career. He does not see the field often. And his case was not helped when the Broncos drafted Drew Lock and signed Brett Rypien as an undrafted free agent.

There is no doubt that Joe Flacco will be the starter. Hogan might make the final roster if Denver decides that Rypien would benefit more being on the practice squad. But with how highly rated Rypien was in the minds of most, he would not last long before a team decided to pick him up from the practice squad.

That alone could put Kevin Hogan as the odd man out. It will really depend on what the team’s plans are at the quarterback position. This could be one of the most challenging decisions that Fangio and the staff will have to make in 2019.
