Loveland mocked to Broncos by Kiper

1 month ago | denversports.com | Andrew Mason |Cecil Lammey

Colston Loveland seems to be settling in as the consensus mock draft pick for the Denver Broncos. A week after NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah mocked the Michigan tight end to Denver, ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. did the same in the pre-Combine mock that he released Tuesday morning. Writes Kiper:Denver coach Sean Payton is looking for a “joker” in his offense — someone who can play a few different roles as a playmaker.
These NFL Combine snubs at positions of Broncos need are worth knowing

2 months ago | denversports.com | Andrew Mason |Cecil Lammey

The NFL Combine isn’t the be-all, end-all of pre-draft preparation — although it may seem like it given the build-up the league creates around it. Former Denver Broncos Pro Bowl running back and current Denver Sports/104.3 The Fan host Phillip Lindsay is just one prominent recent example of a player who passed beyond the Combine’s gaze, but still made it to the NFL and flourished. But every year there are surprises among the omissions.
Peyton Manning weighs in on Bo Nix’s rookie year: ‘Sky’s the limit’

ORLANDO, Fla. — Peyton Manning made a point of noting the value of on-field experience last spring when asked about the development of Bo Nix and what advice he would give the Denver Broncos’ young quarterback. “I think experience is still your best teacher,” he said last May. “… Being out there on the field, you just learn more things than you do sitting on the sideline.”And the experience collected by Nix last season was of a scope that few rookie quarterbacks experience.

2 months ago | denversports.com | Andrew Mason |Cecil Lammey

Darren Rizzi doesn’t have the Denver Broncos special-teams coordinator job — at least, not yet. The former New Orleans Saints interim head coach and special-teams coordinator appears to be the top candidate in the Broncos’ search to replace Ben Kotwica, whom the team dismissed a fortnight ago. NFL Network first reported Friday night that Rizzi is “likely” to become the Broncos’ special-teams coordinator, but then added that the Broncos will “conduct a full and complete search” to replace Kotwica.

David Shaw is moving on from the Denver Broncos. After spending last season as a senior personnel executive, Shaw will return to the sideline as the Detroit Lions’ pass-game coordinator, working under former Sean Payton assistants Dan Campbell and John Morton.

Broncos coaching staff has another change looming

2 months ago | denversports.com | Andrew Mason |Cecil Lammey

The Denver Broncos are about to lose another member of Sean Payton’s coaching staff. Special-teams assistant Chris Banjo, who joined the Broncos in 2023 directly from his playing career, is expected to leap to Aaron Glenn’s New York Jets staff as special-teams coordinator. KUSA-Ch. 9’s Mike Klis was first to report the potential move.
Star Buffs players expect Deion Sanders to stay in Boulder

Jan 24, 2025 | denversports.com | Andrew Mason

FRISCO, Texas — Deion Sanders remains the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes. The Dallas Cowboys still don’t have a replacement on the sideline for Mike McCarthy, who was jettisoned after five seasons in the head-coaching role last week. And this confluence means that speculation continues to boil, even as rumblings persist that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is zeroing in on longtime NFL coordinator Brian Schottenheimer for the gig. Until there is certainty, there will be chatter.
Pat Surtain is the Broncos' most valuable defender, and that's just the beginning

Jan 23, 2025 | denversports.com | Andrew Mason

Pat Surtain II is obviously the Denver Broncos’ best defensive player, with all due respect to edge rusher Nik Bonitto and defensive lineman Zach Allen, both of whom had career-defining seasons — both of which could prove individually impactful as they head into contract years in the 2025 season. The question now is whether he will win the league’s top defensive honor. The NFL awards its official Defensive Player of the Year award — with voting administered by the Associated Press — on Feb.

Darren Mougey has been with the Denver Broncos since the 2012 season in various personnel capacities. He survived the transition from John Elway to George Paton following the 2021 season. And now he could be in line to step up to the top line of an NFL team’s personnel operation.
Broncos CB Pat Surtain II collects two significant honors

Jan 22, 2025 | denversports.com | Andrew Mason

Pat Surtain II hasn’t yet collected the NFL’s highest defensive honor, but two awards given this week show that he might be on track to receive it. Surtain collared two defensive-player-of-the-year awards Wednesday. The first was for the AFC alone, bestowed by the Kansas City-based Committee of 101. The second was a league-wide honor, the NFL defensive-player-of-the-year award given by the Pro Football Writers of America.
