The Broncos have the best defense in football and an up-and-coming star at quarterback. So which surprise player is their X-factor?

Let's get to the news and notes from Day 3 of Broncos camp. Sutton ended up being the first domino to fall when it comes to the group of core Broncos entering a contract year. Bo Nix's No. 1 target garnered a four-year extension worth $93 million with $41 million guaranteed.

DENVER (KDVR) — There are many universities around the United States that are known for their reputation as college football powerhouses. These schools take talented high school prospects and mold them into players ready to conquer the professional scene after their time in college.

It took two seasons, but Courtland Sutton proved his standing as a foundational player to Sean Payton and t Broncos’ brass.

Denver Broncos' tight end Evan Engram spoke with the media on Friday about the Broncos' team culture and work ethic, and took a shot at his former team in the process.

Engram is just two years removed from his last Pro Bowl campaign, which saw him catch 114 passes for nearly 1,000 yards. Broncos head coach Sean Payton has an excellent tight-end resume over the years, though he'd been without a true 'joker' weapon since arriving in Denver.

Denver Broncos fans got their first look at linebacker Dre Greenlaw in full pads at Monday’s training camp practice, and Sean Payton was quite complimentary.
