The Bronco Unsung Players

[Mingo]

I'd have to go with Paradis on offense and this year's version of Danny Trevathan for the defense.

Special Team Unsungs: Kayvon Webster and Latimer. Both of these guys have made dynamic field position plays and by that I mean - added and denied large chunks of yardage on punt exchanges.

We can easily forget that McMoney saved our bacon early in the year as well.

Darian Stewart on defense - all year long

The second half of the season I'd say Owen Daniels - the guy looks indestructible out there, and has made some great, clutch catches

Honorable mentions:

- Vance Walker
- Cody Latimer
- Bennie Fowler

And it seems very unfair that both David Bruton and Omar Bolden will end up missing the Super Bowl .. Both of these guys are excellent Denver Broncos - the type of players that separate a good team from a great team ..

He may not fall into the "unsung" category but we wouldn't be in the Super Bowl without Brock Osweiler. The kid was cool as a cucumber, represented the franchise incredibly well on and off the field, had the confidence of his teammates and played his heart out. He's handled the return of Manning better than anyone could expect and I believe our future is bright with Oz under center.

Ryan Harris is one for me. This guy was brought in only after a couple of injuries to the OL. He was supposed to be our emergency player on the right side and instead is now our starting LT in the Super Bowl. He hasn't had the best year ever by a LT but considering he is our 3rd string guy I would say he has held up very well. He has also been a part of some of our best runs of the season.

On defense I know he does get talked about a decent amount but Danny Trevathan being back this year to me has been huge. The guy is one of the best all-around ILB's in the league but never gets talked about in that type of light. Heck on PFF he finished with a better grade that Brandon Marshall yet Marshall gets a lot more attention. He is that guy that makes what I call the crap plays. He racks up the tackles that while they don't look very stylish it is also where if he doesn't make the tackle it goes from a 2-yard play to a 20-yard play. Honestly he would be the guy I would have shadowing Cam all game long. He is our surest tackler and just seems to find himself in the right position.

Yes - Oz had a journey this year from unsung to sung to unsung again. What you want out of a back up QB is a guy who can win 2 our 4 for you in a pinch - Oz did much better than that.

Yes - love both of these nominees. Ryan Harris - I thought was wash up 5 years ago - he is playing gut out and hustling.

We had a KC fan tell us here on the forum that Harris was one of there better player's on their OL last year .. So we was lucky to get him here .. He does Owen a Health care Business in Denver so I am pretty sure he will be here for the rest of his NFL days

 

[Mingo]

Ryan Harris is one of the few Golden Domers I came to like in the pros.

 

[Orange Crush77]

All good choices

Absolutely!

Broncos LT Ryan Clady eager to restructure contract

Ryan Clady unsung this year - but willing to be a life time bronco.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Darian Stewart would get my first vote.

Brock Osweiler- He came in and saved our bacon this year to keep us alive when things looked like they were going in the wrong direction.

Owen Daniels- We all knocked on this guy early in the year about his poor separation, and while rightfully so he raised his game up as the season went on. Not saying he is a great player right now by any means, but he has been clutch for us down the stretch.

I thought of Vance Walker too. Guy who is sorta that "another guy type signing" but he has played a nice role.

Shaq Barrett

Huge bonus to our D this year adding depth to pass rushing.

Last game Jackson, Wolfe, Miller and Ware were huge, but Barrett was really that extra man this year. Seemed like when Ware was out Barrett really stepped up his game for us.

Special teams aces Kayvon and Latimer are also two good ones to add.

Nice to have a good handful of options for this question.

I know he`s not " unsung" but I still don`t think this guy gets enough credit for where Denver is at today. On the D side I give MVP to Phillips and everyone on that side of ball and the "guy" that I think is MVP on the O side and who has personally won games for this lethargic at times offense is SANDERS!!! That guy has made more huge 3rd down plays,tough catches,hard hits and saved Denver`s offense more than any player on the team. CJ is 2nd. Of all the guys on offense who I deem critical to resign is Sanders. His dedication on and off field is also hard to emulate. Know it`s not exactly what OP is about but I just wanted to give the guy some love. Go Broncos! Can Cam and bring home the 50 !!!

How about a guy not only under the radar. - but not even on the radar!

Denver Broncos long-snapper Aaron Brewer likes flying under the radar

Speaking of long snappers. Mike Leach retired (Former Bronco LS who was with the Cardinals the past several years)
