Broncos' Veteran Roster, Young Hope | Denver Broncos News

The Denver Broncos are banking on experience, not youth, as they gear up for the 2026 season with the fifth-oldest roster in the NFL—averaging 26 years and 40 days old, and ranked 28th in young talent. With only one draft pick in the third round (defensive tackle Tyler Onyedim, 23), they’re leaning heavily on veterans. Still, they’ve got promising young stars like receiver Marvin Mims (24), pass rusher Jonah Elliss (23), and others in their 20s. Despite being ranked dead last in under-25 talent by ESPN last year, they turned it around with a 14-3 record and the top AFC seed. Can this veteran-heavy squad defy the odds again?
