Name your surprise player

[ward63]

Name your surprise player(s) that will make the roster this year and explain why. We always expect the bigger named guys before the camps to make the team, but I was wondering who you think will make the team that isn't very big.

[Doggcow]

Well making the team wont really be an issue. However I think Eddie Royal will be a huge suprise and win us at least 2 games this season.

[BroncoMan4ever]

I am going to say Hillis simply because as a 7th rounder nobody outside of the Mane has any idea how good he can be or how he is going to greatly improve our between the tackles running game and help getting tough yards. Also he will be a valuable weapon in the red zone and at the goal line. He will be providing a good lead blocker and really good hands out of the backfield.
He gives us that FB that can catch 50 a year for around 6TD's and will be a great checkdown for Jay.
He has the talent to become an underappreciated but very valuable member of our offense for years to come

nate jackson.

[rovolution]

Hixon...



yea hes that good.

[Inkana7]

Keary Colbert.

[Dr. Broncenstein]

Wesley Woodyard. He's going to be a special teams demon this year... and maybe get some PT in the big nickel as the season progresses.

[BroncoMan4ever]

nate jackson.

please tell me you are joking.

[watermock]

I'll second Hillis.

[OABB]

please tell me you are joking.

nope. he suprises me every year he makes this team.

[DHallblows]

MMMMike Bell

[Gcver2ver3]

i gotta go Eddie Royal here...

[BroncoBuff]

Wesley Woodyard. He's going to be a special teams demon this year... and maybe get some PT in the big nickel as the season progresses.

Second that.

[Houshyamama]

Keary Colbert.

same here

[Man-Goblin]

Jack Mother****ing Williams. Just getting it out there....

[no-pseudo-fan]

Surprise player.

Josh Barrett. I agree with Woodyard=ST demon, and Hillis improves the FB position, and that Royal is going to do some special things this year(on a side note, I love our draft class. That all have a good head on their shoulders, and we are only getting positive things coming out about them). I think that if Barrett makes the team, he is a complete stud and our future star safety.

[ward63]

Cullen Finnerty as #3 QB and Lorne Sam at WR....Those are somewhat very small limbs to go out on. I do agree if neither make it, that Barrett, Woodyard and Hillis make it.

[colonelbeef]

Eddie Royal.

[Punisher]

I'll say Eddie Royal but we want him to succeed so it wouldn't be much a surprise if he does well,so my "Surprise player" will be John Engelberger I think he's do for a big year the man pay his dues so he deserve a break out year :)

[Cosmo]

Boss Bailey

Playing with his brother is going to do wonders for his play. Ever play football with your brother? You just have to show up or be embarrassed.

[Hotwheelz]

William V'jayjay.

[Kaylore]

Wesley Woodyard. He's going to be a special teams demon this year... and maybe get some PT in the big nickel as the season progresses.

That's my vote.

[Spider]

B.Griese as Middle linebacker.......

[Hogan11]

Garrett Hartley.....we will not lose a game due to the K this year, mark it down!

[Bronco Billy]

Carlton Powell

[brncs_fan]

Ryan Torrain.

[Killericon]

Josh Barrett is a starting safety by the end of the season.

[Kaylore]

Josh Barrett is a starting safety by the end of the season.

I hope you're right, but he's the guy I picked to get cut. We really, really need him to step it up. How awesome would it be if him and Woodyard took over as starters by the beginning of '09?

[thumpc]

Anthony Alridge, he gets on the field and produces by game six.

[Majik]

Roderick Rogers, will be starting at Safety going into the 09 season, write it down.

[no-pseudo-fan]

I am pulling for so many of these young guys. The pics of Torain are impressive, the guy looks like a beast. We will see when the pads are on.

I'm with you - Barrett.

[Traveler]

Ditto! I'm really hoping he can contribute to the return game ala Dante Hall.

[maher_tyler]

Crowder...not sure why i just think hes gonna be a beast given the chance!!

[Broncos4Life]

Why isn't this a poll?
Anyway, I like Larson.

[Tombstone RJ]

Since alot of other posters here are on the Woodyard bandwagon (I think he'll be a tackling machine too) I'll go with Spencer Larson as a surprise player. He too is a tackling monster and he'll probably make his presence known on STs, and then nicely transition to LB.

[ColoradoBuff]

Darrell Jackson.....he'll lead the team in TD's!

[Kaylore]

Roderick Rogers, will be starting at Safety going into the 09 season, write it down.

Majik picked a Wisconsin player! Shocking!

[bowtown]

Samie Parker

[cmhargrove]

Matt Prater


We haven't been good about touchbacks or kick coverage lately. If he hits at least 75-80% of his field goals, and can consistently kick off into the end zone, it will be a big deal for the success of our defense.

[rugbythug]

Kenny Peterson-He plays like he did in the Green Bay game all season.

[Hotrod]

Chad Mustard not only makes the team he leads the TE's in TD's on the season.

[Breaker]

Add a poll to make this thread easier to follow.

Josh Barret is my pick though.

[loborugger]

I'll second Hillis.

Third that.

[Kaylore]

Samie Parker

I promise you he will be cut.

[ward63]

Poll up and I dno't see Samie making it...he'd basically be a third slot guy and I don't see it. Did he ever play ST's?

[Gcver2ver3]

too many players to choose from for an effective poll...

"other" will run away with it because we don't have the other 40 possible players to choose from...

I just went with multiple options....if it's other, just say who you think it is

[Gcver2ver3]

I just went with multiple options....if it's other, just say who you think it is

i already did...

i stated eddie royal earlier...

i'm just saying that this thread was good the way it started...no poll...

but its no big deal...

i'm just sayin...

[BroncoBuff]

Darrell Jackson.....he'll lead the team in TD's!
Jackson can't be a surprise player, can he? He's been a very productive starter in the league for awhile.

[BroncoBuff]

Roderick Rogers, will be starting at Safety going into the 09 season, write it down.

Starting safeties in 2009: Josh Barrett and Wodewick Wojews.

By the end of the season, Super Kuper will have us speculating how long before he is in the Pro Bowl.

[orinjkrush]

Moss. comes back from the dead with some talent beside him.

[2KBack]

well after this thread, none of these guys will be surprises anymore

[Killericon]

Jackson can't be a surprise player, can he? He's been a very productive starter in the league for awhile.

Noone's really giving him a shot, though.

[ward63]

I'd love to see Barrett starting by the end of season...Based on performance, not record
