Position Preview: Defensive Line - The Broncos defense in 2012 will be sporting a new look up front. New Defensive Line Coach Jay Rodgers values size in the middle, and the offseason has certainly added that to Denver’s defensive tackle position. The team selected Derek Wolfe with its first pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, signed former Bronco Justin Bannan, and got Ty Warren back healthy under a restructured contract.

Denver Broncos: 3 Players Under the Most Pressure Because of Peyton Manning - The Denver Broncos’ signing of Peyton Manning ratcheted up the pressure for the Broncos to ascend to greatness in 2012. Manning hand-picked the Broncos because of the allure of some top players, a quality coaching staff and a Hall of Fame quarterback in the front office.
