Special teams could make a difference in a football game. We take a look at the Denver Broncos players who snap, kick, and punt the football.
When it comes to special teams, the Denver Broncos have been fortunate to have a few players that played for the team that wore the orange and blue for a long time. Jason Elam and Tom Rouen are the two players who kicked the football that I have a long standing memory of.
Both had pretty solid careers. The team also had players like Britton Colquitt, Matt Prater, and even Rich Karlis back in the day. However, if we are being honest, special team players are either extremely loved when they make a clutch play or ridiculed when they punt a ball terribly or miss a field goal badly that would have won the game for the team.
And when it comes to long snappers, the only time you hear someone say their name is if they messed up. Luckily, the Denver Broncos have a solid long snapper on their roster right now.
What can we expect from the special teams unit in 2019? We take a look at the four players that are currently on the roster and the type of impact they can make this season.
Note, I will not add returners to this list as the players that return kicks and punts are skill position players.
