ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Name the one team in the NFL that didn’t have more than two receivers go over 300 yards in 2016.
You guessed it, the Denver Broncos.
Yes, much is made of Denver’s two stars and their run of 1,000-yard seasons but last season the team got virtually nothing out of everyone else. In fact, the Broncos’ third-leading receiver on the season was the opening-day backup running back, Devontae Booker (265 yards). Denver’s secondary crop of receivers grossly underachieved and their tight ends were arguably worse.
The team’s top tight end was Virgil Green who had just 237 receiving yards on the season, 41 different tight ends in the league had more production than that.
