Biggest storyline: Can the Broncos replace several graduated starters from a season ago?
Names to watch this season: senior QB/ATH Raymond Niro, senior WR/DB Alec Andrea
Biggest holes to fill: The Broncos welcome back just a handful of starters, and have to reload on both the offensive and defensive line.
EDGY's early take: Despite the lack of returning starters, the Broncos always find a way to compete under Sanchez. Niro is a speedy game breaker who could see action all over the field. Also, keep an eye on Andrea and senior wide receiver Jake Parsons.
