Offensive line: Austin Schlottmann (OG)

Many fans in Broncos country may have no idea about this, but Austin Schlottmann has played over 500 offensive snaps over the past two seasons.

He has been active for all 32 games and has made six starts for the Denver Broncos on the offensive line.

Once an undrafted free agent out of TCU who made his way up from the practice squad, Schlottmann has become, at the very least, solid depth for the Denver Broncos on the interior offensive line but the team has made some additions there that could push the six-game starter off the roster completely.

The Broncos obviously used picks in the top three rounds of the NFL Draft on left guard Dalton Risner, center Lloyd Cushenberry III, and guard/center Quinn Meinerz. They also have a 2020 sixth-round pick in Netane Muti with big-time potential for 2021 and beyond.

How many interior linemen are the Broncos going to keep? Along with starting right guard Graham Glasgow, Schlottmann is now going to have to beat out a number of promising younger players to stick.
