No. 3 – Evan Mathis

After having an absolutely awful game against Kansas City, Mathis made it on our weekly “Duds” list. Mathis responded both on the field and off. (If you missed his hilarious reply to our list, you have to check it out.)

Mathis started finding his form in Weeks 3 and 4 and the Broncos run game off center and guard has slowly improved from worst in the league to No. 19 over that same time. That’s no coincidence.

We’re just starting to see the mad dog foam at the mouth. He’s regained his confidence and Broncos fans should start to expect big things from Mathis so long as he stays healthy.
