Everyone in the media world has spent significant time this offseason talking about the Denver Broncos' obvious needs at running back, tight end, and linebacker, but there's one area of the team that hasn't gotten nearly as much attention: Special teams.
The Broncos' first external free agent signing was Tycen Anderson, a safety who plays a ton of snaps on special teams, and figures to help the Broncos replace what PJ Locke (now with the Cowboys) brought to the team in that phase.
While having quality special teams players is crucial, having multiple players who can return kicks has now become a non-negotiable essential in the NFL.
