Good morning, Broncos Country!
There are a lot of questions about the Denver Broncos this season.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
At least for the last almost nine seasons.
To add another to the mix, who will be the Broncos MVP this season?
NFL.com thinks it’ll be cornerback Pat Surtain II. That’s the most likely scenario, given how good Surtain is and how many questions there are for this roster. Surtain isn’t just the best defender in Denver; he’s one of the best cornerbacks in football.
After Surtain, the race is wide open.
Much of this will depend on how good the Broncos offense is and what it looks like. One guy who should be on the list is guard Quinn Meinerz. “The Belly” has become one of the guards in the NFL. If the offense is able to run the ball and protect whoever starts, likely Bo Nix, Meinerz will play a big role in that success.
Courtland Sutton will get thrown out. But if he’s healthy, Tim Patrick is more valuable to Denver’s offense. Patrick is also the more complete receiver. Since Patrick is returning from two brutal injuries, that’s the biggest question with Patrick. Hopefully he’s able to stay on the field.
On defense, newly acquired John Franklin-Myers is a guy to watch on the defensive line. Franklin-Myers will be a key contributor to the defensive front and help lead it to any success. For his career, Franklin-Myers has 135 tackles, 61 quarterback hits and 19.5 sacks. A disruptive force from the defensive line is what this defense needs.
The other player on defense for Denver is Baron Browning … if he can stay healthy. Consistent pressure off the edge is crucial for the Broncos defense, and Browning has the potential to be a great pass rusher. If he’s consistent, he could put himself in the Broncos MVP discussion.
Those are a few guys I think could compete with Surtain for Denver’s MVP this season. Who else could become a possibility?
