At first glance, Louis Vasquez would appear more likely to start, or better yet, end a fight than offer a helping hand.
The Broncos' 6-foot-5, 335-pound right guard is the biggest and most physically imposing man on the team. But you wouldn't know it from hearing him speak.
"He's not a rah-rah guy. Probably no one else can hear him except the guys in our (meeting) room," offensive line coach Clancy Barone said. "But he's certainly the leader in the room and has been so from Day One this offseason."
With the departure of left guard Orlando Franklin in free agency and left tackle Ryan Clady lost to a season-ending knee injury, Vasquez became the main source of guidance for a young, unstable offensive line.
