10 NFL sleepers who could make a surprise Super Bowl run
Denver Broncos
Just so we are perfectly clear, I am a Las Vegas Raiders fan, so it pains me to write this about a potential team that could surprise and make a Super Bowl run. Unfortunately for me, the Denver Broncos made a ton of solid moves this offseason to bolster their roster, and they should improve over a seven-win season from a year ago.
Second-year quarterback Drew Lock proved he can win games at the NFL level last season, taking over for Joe Flacco and going 4-1 down the stretch. Denver added the talented Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler to the wide receiver group via the NFL Draft as compliments to Courtland Sutton, giving Lock an incredibly young and talented group atop the depth chart at the position..
On defense, the Broncos added A.J. Bouye via a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars, brought in Jurrell Casey from Tennessee, and will get a healthy Bradley Chubb back. As a complete team, the Broncos have the talent to make a run this year, that is if Lock is the real deal.
