Denver Broncos highlight three hidden gems for 2026 season

Summary

The Denver Broncos are looking to build on their 2025 playoff run as they prepare for the 2026 season. Key players identified as 'Hidden Gems' include Ja'Quan McMillian, Dasan McCullough, and Red Murdock, who are expected to play vital roles in their championship aspirations. McMillian, an undrafted defensive back, has already made significant contributions, including a game-clinching strip-sack and multiple interceptions last season. The Broncos also traded for receiver Jaylen Waddle, aiming to enhance their passing game. With the entire defense returning and a focus on underappreciated talent, Denver aims for a deeper playoff run this season.
