Which rookie(s) on the team will make an immediate impact?

Look for the Broncos’ second round pick running back Montee Ball to have an immediate impact. He was a scoring machine at Wisconsin and he provides more bulk than the other backs on the team. He had 83 career touchdowns in college and added six touchdown receptions. Most Denver fans really can’t wait to see him play.

Which player(s) on the roster is the most underrated?

I know Wesley Woodyard had a breakout season last year, but I think he’s still underrated. The potential for this guy is huge. I expect another 100+ tackle season and more game changing plays.

I also have to point to special teams extraordinaire, David Bruton. There’s a reason why the Broncos signed him to a three-year contract even though he normally only sees time on special teams, a naturally underrated position in football anyway. His ability to make the down field tackles and his potential for blocked punts is unbelievable.

Prediction for the season?

Broncos go 13-3 and make it to the AFC Championship at least. Predictions after that may seem too bold.
