Denver Broncos 53-man roster projection just ahead of training camp
- Competition at kicker will be interesting
- Wide receiver will be the most competitive position
Denver Broncos pre-training camp 53-man roster projection
Running back/Fullback (4): Javonte Williams, Samaje Perine, Tyler Badie, Michael Burton
Cuts: Tony Jones, Jr., Jaleel McLaughlin
The health of starting running back Javonte Williams will be one of the biggest questions for the team to answer this summer. If he is fully recovered from the devastating knee injury that ended his 2022 season, then the Broncos should be more than fine with what they have.
If not, a big hole could open that career backup Samaje Perine may not be ready to fill.
Tyler Badie is going to be the player to watch this summer. He has a chance to become a real weapon in this offense. Jones is there if Badie can't prove he is ready and McLaughlin may have some appeal to end up on the practice squad.
Payton has turned small running backs who can catch into effective players before, so the "size" thing can't be a major issue when evaluating these guys in this offense.
