Denver Broncos brick, mortar, and scrap: Wide receivers

In part 3 of Brick, Mortar and Scrap, we take a look at the WR position and see who can continue to make an impact for the Denver Broncos in 2020.

In a sport filled with physicality and tough play, one position stands out among the rest for its reputation. This reputation is unfortunately not one a football player would want. Of course, I’m referring to wide receivers and their penchant for being stereotyped as the “diva” position on their team.

Despite spawning some of the greatest players in the history of the game, wide receivers have gotten a bad rap in recent years for their over the top, selfish behavior.  The Broncos don’t have to look much farther than Emmanuel Sanders to see a player to fit that criteria.

With that said, the Broncos appear to be in the market for more receivers this off-season and with new offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur’s knack for calling plays in 3 WR sets, we’ll see plenty of these guys on the field for the Broncos next season.

In this edition of Brick, Mortar and Scrap, we’ll take a look at the current receivers on the roster and determine which ones will be here in 2020 and who will be somewhere else.

Let’s begin.
