The Broncos will look for Brandon Marshall to show plenty of maturity, both on and off the field, this season
| No. | Name | Ht. | Wt. | Yr. |
| 15 | Brandon Marshall | 6-4 | 230 | 3 |
| 13 | Keary Colbert | 6-1 | 205 | 5 |
| 82 | Darrell Jackson | 5-11 | 210 | 9 |
| 17 | Glenn Martinez | 6-1 | 190 | 3 |
| 16 | Marquay McDaniel | 5-10 | 205 | R |
| 12 | Samie Parker | 5-11 | 185 | 5 |
| 19 | Eddie Royal | 5-10 | 182 | R |
| 10 | Clifford Russell | 5-11 | 195 | 6 |
| 87 | Lorne Sam | 6-3 | 220 | R |
| 86 | Edell Shepherd | 6-1 | 175 | 5 |
| 14 | Brandon Stokely | 5-11 | 192 | 10 |
Starters: Brandon Marshall, Keary Colbert.
Backups: Brandon Stokley, Darrell Jackson, Samie Parker, Eddie Royal, Glenn Martinez, Clifford Russell, Edell Shepherd, Marquay McDaniel, Lorne Sam.
The lowdown: Cutler likes this group and believes there is production to be found. Colbert is looking to resurrect his career, and Marshall will have to show plenty of maturity, both on and off the field, in a year when the team likely will start to decide about the feasibility of a long-term deal.
Good to know: Marshall tied for the team lead in penalties last season with seven.

Outside of Marshall and Stokely, nobody excites me in this group, I think Jackson will be a good two, but look for another draft pick next year. Will be interesting to see if Royal can get on the field more than on special teams.

I really feel like this is the best group they've had since Rod/Eddie/Willie Green. Marshall is on the verge of being a superstar (yes I know he needs to mature) Stokelys one of the best in the league at his position. Colbert and Jackson are solid players. I'm excited about Eddie Royal. He'll be mostly special teams to start, but I think you'll see him getting more offensive opportunities as the season progresses.
Ah yes the possibilities in July:)
