After one of the most exhilarating offseasons in Broncos history, the 2022 season is close at hand.
On Tuesday, the Broncos will report for training camp and begin to prepare for the regular season. The task is simple: Return to the playoffs for the first time since a Super Bowl 50 win — and perhaps challenge for another Lombardi Trophy.
As the Broncos embark on that effort, though, they’ll need to answer a series of questions that will help determine whether they can find success in Year 1 of the Russell Wilson era. Leading up to training camp, we’ll take a look at those questions that span across the roster.

ARE THE BRONCOS READY TO CHALLENGE FOR A TITLE?
In each of the last two seasons, a veteran quarterback arrived in a new setting and led his team to a Lombardi Trophy in his very first attempt.
Tom Brady captured his seventh Super Bowl title when he guided the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a world championship in 2020, and Matthew Stafford helped the Rams win the Super Bowl last year in his first playoff appearance since 2016.
Russell Wilson, who is viewed around the league as a top-10 quarterback, certainly has the talent to join Brady and Stafford in the procession. With a Super Bowl win, Wilson would join Brady — and Peyton Manning — in an elite group of quarterbacks to lead multiple teams to world championships.
Brady and Stafford, of course, did not reach those heights alone. The Rams made it to the Super Bowl in 2018 behind head coach Sean McVay and largely the same core, and they again won the NFC West in 2020 before their title run in 2021.
The Buccaneers may be the better comparison to this Broncos roster, as Tampa featured plenty of talented players in 2019 despite struggling to a 7-9 record.
