Horse Tracks: Who should we be excited about so far?

Every offseason, fans of every team gets hyped over their group of guys. Yes, even Oakland Raiders fans think they might win 10 games right now. Given that, who should we really be excited about with the Denver Broncos right now and who should we be concerned about?

I've read every report and kept an eye on Denver Broncos training camp so far and there are a few guys I'm super excited about and there are also a few guys I think we should be concerned about.

Excitement

Emmanuel Sanders. The dude has been lightning in a bottle all training camp. What a steal for John Elway and what a weapon for Peyton Manning. I think Demaryius Thomas still ends up with the most yards and touchdowns, but Sanders won't be very far behind.

Von Miller. Every single report has Von Miller looking stronger and faster than he was last year. If he keeps up this kind of pace he could be ready to explode onto the 2015 scene with a monster year. This will only help guys like DeMarcus Ware and Malik Jackson who will also be looking to get after the quarterback. I love contract years.

C.J. Anderson. Before training camp began, I felt that maybe Montee Ball would be the guy in this zone blocking scheme, but so far its been the C.J. Anderson show. He's the man in Denver and I'm no longer going to wonder about the whether the guys behind will take over the starting position. Only an injury can make that happen now.

Concern

Shane Ray. It's typical for fans of the Broncos to talk up players they have high hopes for and a first round draft pick would fit that bill. However, I've heard one camp attendee refer to Ray as nothing more than a third string OLB, which is a pretty damning assessment for the rookie first round pick. Here's to hoping that assessment is dead wrong.

Chris Clark. This is a guy who was supposed to be better than we all thought, but even with all of the offensive line concerns we have he has been unable to crack the starting lineup. Let's hope he doesn't see much playing time.

Brock Osweiler. He got some playing time with the first string and did little to inspire confidence in our future. I certainly am not feeling any Aaron Rodgers mojo from him and nor should you. At this point, I think we would be better off with Tim Tebow as Peyton Manning's successor.

Naturally, all of these excitements and concerns could change over the next few weeks, but this is just the first taste of Broncos training camp from what we have seen from the players thus far.

Any other guys you are excited or concerns about?
