Denver Broncos Roster 2023-24
Quarterback Russell Wilson and cornerback Patrick Surtain II will be vital players for the Denver Broncos in the upcoming NFL season. Wilson will have to bounce back from probably the worst season in his career (2022-23) to make an impact for the Denver Broncos and really show what he offers as one of the best dual threat quarterbacks in the league. The Broncos have some talented rookie acquisitions going for them in the 2023 NFL draft class. Marvin Mims Jr. stands out in Denver's class for his explosive skills as a WR, while the rest of their picks also offer great value. Drew Sanders, a Round 3 acquisition, brings versatility and pass-rushing talent as an LB. Additionally, the Broncos added cornerback Riley Moss, an athletic ball hawk, and safety JL Skinner, a formidable 6'4" defender with aggression.
