Arizona Cardinals, Denver Broncos joint practice
Digest more
Earlier this offseason, former Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman spoke to CardPlayer.com about Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix and his expectations for the school year. Grossman, a star quarterback at Florida who went to the Super Bowl with the Chicago Bears, believes that the second-year quarterback will have a monstrous year in 2025.
Further compounding the issue is that the Broncos had a rather unenviable rushing attack in 2024, one that required a whole lot of repairing over the last several months. Jared Dubin of CBS Sports feels that Denver's ground game will remain its most significant obstacle heading into 2025.
The Broncos have to find answers with their depth at the safety position, especially with P.J. Locke working back from back surgery. Skinner stood out in a big way last week against the 49ers' third-unit offense, but can he make it count versus the Cardinals' second-unit this weekend?
Barber made his list shortly after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- the team for which he played his entire 16-year career -- unveiled their "Bucco Bruce" throwback jerseys in July. At No. 5, Barber listed the New England Patriots with their fan favorite red "Pat Patriot" ensemble.
Start with Zach Allen, D.J. Jones, John Franklin-Myers, self-proclaimed “sixth man of the year” Malcolm Roach and rookie third-rounder Sai’vion Jones. That leaves a potential battle between Eyioma Uwazurike and Jordan Jackson for a sixth spot.
Bo Nix will always be his harshest critic, but what he deserving of the negative response from the Denver Broncos' preseason opener?
Elsewhere on the ex-Broncos front, running back Royce Freeman, who was drafted by Denver in the third round of the 2018 NFL draft out of Oregon, worked out for Miami before the Dolphins opted to sign Boone. Freeman totaled 1,596 yards from scrimmage and scored nine touchdowns in three years (46 games) with the Broncos.
