In an introspective talk after Saturday’s training camp practice, Broncos quarterback Bo Nix detailed his “fear of not being ready.”

Denver Broncos linebacker Drew Sanders sustained what appears to be a potentially serious lower-leg injury Saturday in training camp. The former third-round pick had his career trajectory halted last spring when he tore his Achilles tendon and missed nearly all of the 2024 season.

Bo Nix feels more at home heading into his second year with the Denver Broncos. He says he's even more familiar with the offense, the locker room and the city.

Nix is the second Broncos player to make this year's list, joining defensive lineman Zach Allen (No. 90). Denver guard Quinn Meinerz and pass rusher Nik Bonitto seem likely to appear on the list, and star cornerback Pat Surtain should be a lock after winning Defensive Player of the Year in 2024.

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram's arrival in Bo Nix's supporting cast could be a move that defines the 2025 season, NFL Executive says.

Denver Broncos star cornerback Patrick Surtain II was also recognized, landing at No. 27 on the list. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year got a lot of praise from the two writers.

Denver linebacker Drew Sanders, who missed all but five games last season as the Broncos advanced to the AFC playoffs, was carted off the practice field during team drills, about 90 minutes into the workout Saturday,
