Getting your player ready...
To say the Broncos had a wide roster turnover from last season only begins to spell out the team’s newness.
Already two games into the season, fans could be excused for having to check the lineup card to match numbers to names. More than half of the players on the Broncos’ roster are in their first season with the club.
Denver’s roster lists 30 first-year players, or 52.6 percent. Nine of those newbies are NFL draft picks in their first pro seasons, one is a rookie college free-agent signing, three came by trade and 17 are free-agent signings.
Players in their first season with the Broncos:
How acquired Total
2009 NFL draft 9
Rookie college free agent 1
Trade 3
Free agency 17
Totals 30
