Broncos 2021 Season Preview
The Broncos struggled on both sides of the ball last year, and it reflected in their 5-11 record; only four teams scored fewer points than Denver, and only seven surrendered more.
No team topped Denver’s 32 committed turnovers, or their 23 interceptions tossed. Fifteen of those picks belonged to Drew Lock, the starting signal caller for 13 contests.
Barring an unforeseen change, Lock won’t start under center in Week 1. In April, the Broncos sent a 2021 sixth-round pick to the Carolina Panthers for quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. Four months later, head coach Vic Fancio dubbed Bridgewater the team’s QB1.
“He has a calmness to him, and I think he has a confidence to him that can radiate to the rest of the offense and the team, providing he’s playing [well],” Fangio said of the 2014 first-round pick, according to DenverBroncos.com. “I think that’s good. I think he has a very good feel of the game and a feel for the quarterback position, the entire offense and how all 11 [guys] work and not just his position. Overall, he is an intelligent quarterback.”
Bridgewater started 15 games for Carolina a season ago, completing 69.1 percent of his passes for 3,733 yards and 15 touchdowns, with 11 interceptions.
“This entire team is hungry,” Bridgewater said, per DenverBroncos.com. “We know the talent that we have here, and we know what’s in store for us. But we can’t sit here and talk about it. We’ve got to continue to put the work in every day, and eventually our hard work will pay off. We’ve got to take it one day at a time.”
First-year Broncos general manager George Paton made significant changes to the secondary, signing free-agent corners Ronald Darby and Kyle Fuller — a two-time Pro Bowler — and using the ninth overall pick on Alabama Crimson Tide cornerback Patrick Surtain II, the son of a three-time Pro Bowl corner Patrick Surtain.
Paton also re-signed Justin Simmons to a four-year, $61 million contract, making him the league’s highest-paid safety.
“Obviously, we studied the free agency class inside and out, and you know how hard it is to get good corners in free agency,” the GM said, according to The Washington Post. “We thought Darby was the best corner for pure coverage skills in the free agent class. You know this guy can really cover.”
He added: “[Fuller is] a true pro and is still a very good player. We like his leadership. We had the cap room to go get him for a year. The more corners you have, the better. You can’t have enough corners.”
