Courtland Sutton, Denver Broncos

No team has invested more around their young starting quarterback this offseason than the Denver Broncos.

Not only has the team improved the offensive line, but they also improved an already solid running game with the addition of Melvin Gordon. And, the team massively boosted the passing game with the additions of draft picks Jerry Jeudy, KJ Hamler and Albert Okwuegbunam to the passing game.

The biggest beneficiary of all of this, of course, is quarterback Drew Lock. But, the second biggest beneficiary is third-year receiver Courtland Sutton. After a good rookie season, Sutton really took off in 2019, notching over 1,100 yards receiving and six touchdowns. But what really stood out for the first time Pro Bowler, was the chemistry that existed between he and rookie quarterback Drew Lock.

Sutton can not only repeat his 2019 Pro Bowl appearance, but he can outperform that, and all expectations, by becoming one of the top 10 wideouts in the NFL.
