 Preview: 2010 Denver Broncos offense Preview: 2010 Denver Broncos offense By Jeff Legwold The Denver Post Starters Kyle Orton, quarterback Watched as team brought in Brady Quinn and Tim Tebow to push him, then slammed the door on the competition with his work through the offseason and training camp. He's 29-19 as a starter in his career — 8-7 with the Broncos. * Did you know? In a parking lot surrounded by luxury sedans and SUVs, Orton often drives a hybrid to work. Knowshon Moreno, running back The Broncos have big plans for Moreno — they consistently said he had one of their best offseasons — but then he missed all of training camp with a hamstring injury and comes into the regular season as a question mark. He wore down in 2009, averaging 3.6 yards or less per carry over the last four games of the season. * Did you know? He led NFL rookies in rushing last season with 947 yards. Daniel Graham, tight end Missed some time in the preseason with a torso injury — he took a hard hit in the preseason opener at Cincinnati — but his combination of receiving and blocking skills are important in the Broncos' offense. * Did you know? Graham has caught from 28 to 38 passes in all but two of his previous NFL seasons. Jabar Gaffney, wide receiver Has never led a team in receiving in his NFL career, and 2009 was his first season with more than 50 receptions. He closed out the preseason looking like the Broncos' No. 1 guy on the outside. * Did you know? His father, Derrick, played wide receiver for eight seasons for the New York Jets. Brandon Lloyd, wide receiver He has had great camps in other places but hasn't started more than five games in a season since 2006 and hasn't caught more than 26 passes in a season since 2005. The Broncos believe he can be a productive late bloomer in their offense. * Did you know? He was once a summer intern at Fox Sports Midwest. Eddie Royal, wide receiver Royal plummeted to 37 catches last season after having 91 as a rookie in 2008. The Broncos have said they are going to make a concerted effort to get him the ball more this time around. Will play in the slot much of the time. * Did you know? Had five plays of at least 50 yards in 2008; had two plays of at least 50 yards in 2009. Ryan Clady, left tackle Ask personnel executives in the league to rank the Broncos' players, and Clady often comes out on top. Quick feet, big reach and plays with intellect — all top-shelf attributes for a top-shelf left tackle. Coming off his first Pro Bowl selection in 2009. * Did you know? He started his career at Boise State under coach Dan Hawkins as a defensive lineman. Zane Beadles, left guard Beadles played his entire collegiate career for Utah at tackle and spent plenty of time there for the Broncos as well in the team's offseason workouts. Moved inside at the start of training camp and held the starting job all the way. * Did you know? His mother, Jamie, played basketball at the University of Wyoming. J.D. Walton, center Walton ended what had been a competition at center fairly early on in the team's offseason work. He started all 36 of his games at Baylor after transferring from Arizona State and was a finalist last season for the Rimington Trophy as nation's top center. * Did you know? Baylor coaches said he surrendered only two sacks in 431 pass plays in 2009. Chris Kuper, right guard Signed to an extension during this offseason and already is a mainstay up front with 42 career starts in his four previous years — 31 at right guard, 11 at left guard. Now in his third season on the right side. * Did you know? Kuper and former Broncos guard Mark Schlereth were born in Anchorage, Alaska. Ryan Harris, right tackle Started only eight games in 2009 because of a toe injury that eventually required surgery. There were times in camp when Harris, in his third year as a starter, was the only lineman with the No. 1 offense who had started a game for the Broncos. * Did you know? A native of St. Paul, Minn., Harris once said he aspired to be the state's governor.
