Fox Sports pundit Colin Cowherd has jumped on the Broncos’ bandwagon this offseason. Cowherd believes quarterback Drew Lock is the real deal and he says the Broncos could be a surprise team this season.
“Denver, because of smart drafting, has two good running backs, three excellent young receivers and I believe a Pro Bowl-potential tight end and a defensive coach that keeps them in every game,” Cowherd said during a recent show on FS1.
Cowherd went on to say that he believes Lock will be the “pop guy” in the NFL this season, making a big jump in his first full season as a starter. Cowherd then made a huge prediction about the division.
“You know in the NFL, somebody’s going to win a division and we’re going to be shocked. Don’t be shocked in Denver beats Kansas City [to win the AFC West].”
Cowherd suggested that the Chiefs could win 11 games and finish second in the division behind a 12-win Broncos team. That’s quite a bold prediction, one that fans in Denver can get behind.
