After using a third-round draft pick to select Iowa’s Riley Moss in April, the Denver Broncos now have 10 true cornerbacks on their 90-man offseason roster: Pat Surtain, Damarri Mathis, K’Waun Williams, Riley Moss, Tremon Smith, Essang Bassey, Ja’Quan McMillian, Art Green, Faion Hicks and Delonte Hood (it’s unclear if Devon Key will play primarily as a cornerback or safety).
Surtain returns as the team’s star cornerback and Mathis enters his second season as the early favorite to start across from PS2. Williams remains the top option to play in the slot this fall, but Moss will get an opportunity to compete for playing time right away.
