The Denver Broncos will have quite the training camp coming up regarding what will happen on the offensive side of the ball.



Every year training camp gets intense for a few guys. The guys who aren't established have to bring their all to try and make a name for themselves or to try and make a roster spot. Some guys are established but may have had a down season or aren't living up to their potential and need to bring their all to camp.



We know Russell Wilson is one of those guys on the offensive side of the ball who needs to bring it to camp. He has something to prove after last season. He played terribly and needs to show the world, Broncos country, and the franchise that 2022 was an anomaly.

But there are still at least three other guys on that side of the ball who will likely come into camp with a lot to prove.

Lloyd Cushenberry, C

This whole offseason, whether it be media, or fans, consisted of a lot of people bashing Cushenberry because of the season he had in 2022. Most people wanted the Broncos to address the center position in the offseason, whether it be through the draft or free agency. Almost the rest of the offensive line got an upgrade, so why not the center position?



That right there, is plenty of reason for Cushenberry to come into camp with something to prove. He has to show that entering his fourth season in the league. The Broncos brought him in not long ago, and with the new regime in town, he may not have a job in Denver for too much longer if he plays the same way he did then.

Greg Dulcich, TE

Just like Cushenberry, a lot of people called for the Broncos to draft another tight end, or make a big splash move at the position in free agency. However, it seems like everyone keeps forgetting just how good Dulcich was last season when the offense was going. Now, with a potentially good offense, and not one that is the worst in the league like it was last year, Dulcich has a lot to prove.



Lets also not forget that the Broncos brought in some other tight ends, including one that has played for Sean Payton before in the past. He has way too much to prove going into this season. 

Tim Patrick, WR

As if coming back from a gruesome injury isn't enough to prove that he is still the same, if not better, he is also coming back to join the Broncos in a crucial year where the offense was just the worst in the league. A lot of the talk is that having him could have made the offense a bit better.



Now he is in a better offense with the same guys as before. Not only that but now the receiving corps will finally be healthy all at the same time. Patrick was once a near 1,000-yard receiver and the best red zone threat on the team. Will he be the sams or better?

Training camp will have plenty of storylines to watch for, including these three guys potentially showing the rest of the league that they belong and can be good.
