Broncos' Biggest 2022 Roster Battles: Predicting the Starting Guard Tandem
One of the Denver Broncos' most contentious training camp battles is at the offensive guard position. It's kind of flying under the radar of fan scrutiny.
The guards must accomplish a task as high as Mt. Everest: keep quarterback Russell Wilson protected against interior pressure the Broncos will face this season. Over the last few years, the Broncos have stocked the shelves with interior line talent through the draft and free agency and now have four qualified candidates ready to compete for the two starting spots.
Let's meet the players.
Dalton Risner: Incumbent
Graham Glasgow | Incumbent
Quinn Meinerz

The Broncos have a first-world problem at the guard position. Four capable players will have to battle out to decide who will earn the starting roles.
The top two position priorities will be the ability to keep Wilson secure in the pocket and mastering Hackett’s new zone-blocking run scheme. Dalton Risner and Quinn Meinerz give the Broncos the best chance to accomplish that mission.
