Key Player - Denver Broncos
Russell Wilson, the Broncos quarterback, was the 75th overall pick in the 2012 Draft. In the current season he has thrown 410 passes, 272 of them complete, with 24 touchdowns, 8 interceptions, 2832 yards per pass, averaging 6.9 yards per pass. More was expected of him upon his arrival in Denver, but so far he has not lived up to all the expectations that were raised with his signing.
Key Player - New England Patriots.
DeMario Douglas, wide receiver for the Patriots, was the 210th pick in the 2023 Draft. On the current season he has 39 receptions, 443 yards per reception, averaging 11.4 yards per reception. The rookie is the most trusted offensive card for Bellichick, the task of the organization will be to surround him with good elements in 2024, to make him forget this terrible campaign.
