The offseason is all about making bold predictions as we anticipate the upcoming NFL season.

Honestly, there are so many places where the Denver Broncos could improve for this season. While there are things outside of the organization's control like players getting injured, Sean Payton was brought in to try and help clean up some of the areas he can control.

Payton has spent this offseason with Russell Wilson in mind. Spending substantial draft capital, and cap space, to bring in playmakers and big-bodied men who will be able to protect the franchise quarterback.

With the improvements, we can see one player, in particular, taking a big leap and making their first Pro Bowl this season: Jerry Jeudy.

Jeudy finished his 2022 campaign red-hot, earning himself the AFC Offensive Player of the Week after his dominant performance against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jeudy finished the game with five catches for 154 yards and 3 rushes for 54 yards. 

As a whole, Jeudy finished his entire 2022 campaign with career-high numbers. The talented receiver had 67 receptions for 972 yards and six touchdowns. 

We can see big things out of Jeudy this season. Not only will he have another year of NFL football under his belt, but another offseason working with his franchise quarterback.

Continuity between Jeudy and Wilson will be paramount for both of their success. We think, this season, Jeudy and Wilson are going to elevate their game to the next level and Jeudy is going to explode onto the scene. 

Bucky Brooks, NFL.com analyst, had a similar thought as he put Jeudy on his 2023 NFL All-Breakout team, gushing over Jeudy's abilities and what he can bring to the organization this season.

The route-running specialist has a chance to emerge as the Broncos' featured pass catcher in Sean Payton's offense. As a versatile playmaker with the potential to create mismatches from the slot or out wide, Jeudy gives Payton a versatile chess piece to deploy all over the chessboard. Given the creative play caller's success with Michael Thomas, Brandin Cooks, Marques Colston and many others over the years, Jeudy could finish with 100-plus catches as Denver's No. 1 option.

Jeudy, once again, is going to set career numbers with Wilson this season. Not only is the talented receiver going to be in his first Pro Bowl, but he's going to cross over 1k yards for the first time in his career. 

Doubling it up, we're also expecting double-digit touchdowns out of Jeudy. He will finish his season with 100 receptions, 1500 all-purpose yards, and 10 total touchdowns. 

Want to know the quickest way for fans to forget about the trainwreck that was last season? Have Jeudy emerge as one of the best young receivers in football and watch Wilson shine.

Whether Jeudy and the Broncos succeed or fail, all eyes will be on Denver and Payton to see if the organization did enough to turn things around.
