The Denver Broncos rested on Tuesday, after five consecutive days of practice in the summer heat. They've been back at it now for two straight days of practice.

It will be the only stretch in which the Broncos practice five straight days without a rest day. In essence, though, the first week of training camp is in the books.

The Broncos have another week of practice before they’ll have to hop in a plane and travel to Ohio to take on the Atlanta Falcons in the Hall of Fame Game on August 1. Over the last week or so, we’ve seen many of the players you’d expect to see shine, like Von Miller, Phillip Lindsay and Chris Harris, Jr..

The first week wasn’t great for Joe Flacco and the offense but at this stage, I have to give them a pass. They’re still learning/installing a new offense and there are a lot of new faces on that side of the ball — both coaches and players — that are still working to build a synergy.

It’ll come.

Meanwhile, a few players have emerged that perhaps we didn’t see coming. A few rookies and college free agent pickups, among others, have been the talk of Broncos camp thus far. Let’s examine the storyline of each stud, while also briefly highlighting five duds.
