After a string of tough losing seasons, the Denver Broncos are seen by many to be a team on the rise.

As such, the team has several players who could be seen as breakout candidates. Last season, despite the team suffering a losing record for the third year in a row, Courtland Sutton burst onto the scene and had a season that led to him being in the Pro Bowl.

Who could make the same kind of leap in 2020?

The Broncos will be entering year two with Vic Fangio as head coach and with the players more comfortable with his system and his expectations, the team’s proverbial arrow seems to be pointing up.

Each of the players on this list is coming off a season in which they began to tap into their ultimate potential and this season, that potential could start to be realized. Some of them were rookies while others made the most out of their chance on the field.

If the Broncos break out of their slump and get back to being a playoff team this coming season, it only makes sense that the team will have some breakout stars. Here are the players who could go from a player that most Broncos fans know to a player that most football fans know.
