6. The interior offensive linemen

We’re cheating here and making this about multiple guys.

Although the offensive line is not always the most interesting position group to watch, the competition for snaps on the interior offensive line will be a lot of fun.

Dalton Risner (26), Lloyd Cushenberry III (23), Netane Muti (22), and Quinn Meinerz (22) are competing for three spots on that interior offensive line, and veteran Graham Glasgow is currently in place at the right guard position.

Risner has a stronghold on the left guard position and the center spot will be Cushenberry’s to lose, but Muti and Meinerz are unicorn types of athletes on the interior offensive line and the hope is that they make it difficult for the Denver Broncos to keep them off the field.

Because Muti and Meinerz are both just 22 years of age, the option is definitely going to be there for the Denver Broncos to take things slow.

Even if we see all of the incumbents keep their jobs on the interior line, both Meinerz and Muti are as fun as it gets to watch on the offensive line. They are quick, powerful, and nasty finishers.
