Answering Broncos' Biggest Question Entering Training Camp
There's a lot to look forward to for Denver Broncos fans entering the 2022 season. With a bonafide franchise quarterback in the fold, this offense should finally see lift off for the first time since, say, 2014.
But Russell Wilson will only be as good as his protection upfront. Let's face it, the Broncos still have some significant question marks on the offensive line.
It's not for a lack of options, though. We'll see how the starting five competition shakes out but based on the collection of candidates vying for a job, Wilson could be surrounded with the best O-line talent he's had in years.
However, the Broncos' starting five remains the biggest question mark heading into training camp. Only one job is set in stone — Garett Bolles at left tackle — so who are the primary candidates to join him on the starting five?
Let's meet the dudes.
Incumbent: Dalton Risner | LG
Incumbent: Lloyd Cushenberry | C
Incumbent: Graham Glasgow | RG
Quinn Meinerz | RG
Netane Muti | OG
Billy Turner | RT
Tom Compton | OL
Calvin Anderson | OT
Ben Braden | OG
Projected Starting Five
- LT: Bolles
- LG: Risner
- C: Cushenberry
- RG: Meinerz
- RT: Turner
Bottom Line
This is how I foresee the O-line competition shaping up. But even if I've got one or two spots wrong, this is shaping up to be the most talented and competent O-line Wilson will have played behind since, possibly, the Seattle Seahawks' Super Bowl years nearly a decade ago.
