"The three players creating the most buzz at Broncos camp:
1. Courtland Sutton. The 6' 3" second-round rookie receiver out of SMU has people thinking John Elway might have finally overcome his slump in drafting offensive players. Early in camp, Sutton has wowed with his athleticism in the red zone, rising up for at least one spectacular grab every day the fans have come out to the training facility. Denver’s passing offense might not be particularly complex in Case Keenum’s first year as the starter here, but Sutton is an early favorite to land the third receiver gig alongside veterans Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas. “When he was first drafted I was like, Who is this guy,” cornerback Bradley Roby says of Sutton. “But I should have trusted them, because they picked me [laughs]. He’s really stepping up so far.” Not to be overlooked, fourth-round pick DaeSean Hamilton out of Penn State has looked strong in the slot—consistent if not spectacular—and Sanders is having one of the best camps of his career.
2. Case Keenum. It gets easier to evaluate wide receiver talent when a quarterback is consistently putting balls on the money in every area of the field, and that’s what Keenum has done so far in team scenarios. The former Viking, who signed a two-year, $36 million contract to join the Broncos after a deep playoff run with Minnesota last winter, has been impressive in his command of the offense and his understanding of the defense. For the first time since Peyton Manning commanded the huddle, there’s a clear-cut QB1 in Denver, which is music to Roby’s ears. “He’s a great quarterback, from what we’ve seen so far,” Roby says. “We haven’t had a QB of this caliber here in the last few years—just being honest, no shade. He’s next-level, definitely worth the money. He’s very accurate, he’s a leader. He commands the huddle. He diagnoses what we’re doing, makes checks and everything. We're gonna rally around him this year and make that push. We haven’t had anybody with that kind of experience since Peyton.”
3. Bradley Chubb. The No. 5 overall choice of the 2018 draft has made a strong impression on the offensive tackles he’s gone up against, and has pleasantly surprised with his cover skills and ability to move in space (something his pass-rushing counterpart, Von Miller, also excels at). Jared Veldheer, the former Raiders and Cardinals tackle who is all but sure to start at right tackle, compares Chubb to a former Bronco who just happens to be mentoring the rookie. “I think he's going to be a great player, just with how big and bendy he is,” Veldheer says. “He plays with really good leverage and he’s strong, and he’s got a high motor. I think he could grow into a Demarcus Ware-type player, where he’s tall, but really strong and bendy. I just remember playing him and his ability was very similar to Chubb’s.” Veldheer ought to know: The last time he faced Ware, in 2014, the nine-time Pro Bowler turned the corner on a second-and-9, swatted away Veldheer’s hands, and crumpled QB Logan Thomas for an eight-yard loss..."
