No. 1 – Louis Vasquez
Vasquez is the unquestioned leader of the group and is finally back at his proper position at right guard.
Despite the turmoil that has surrounded him – last year with an inept coaching staff, and this year with o-line roulette – Vasquez has remained steadfast in his belief that he and his linemates will be one of the top units in the league by season’s end.
Vasquez embodies the “kicking and screaming” ethos that’s been the rallying cry for this season. He even took it a step farther during training camp, saying he wants to feel his opponents’ souls “wilt” by game’s end.
If things end the way Elway hopes, and the book is closed on the 2015 season, if Vasquez has his way, the Broncos story will have been punctuated by the turnaround Vasquez led on the offensive line.
