ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- For those players trying to carve out a roster spot on a defending Super Bowl champion, one that the team’s top football decision-maker has said is even better than last season, they could be considered the longest of long shots.
They are rookies, after all. Undrafted players, at that. And they continue to attempt to secure a spot among the 53 players who will be on the Denver Broncos' roster when the cuts are made before the regular-season opener. And they are making that attempt on a team John Elway has repeatedly said is better, on paper, than the one that won Super Bowl 50 this past February.
