No. 7 – Max Garcia

While the struggles of the offensive line have been well documented, Garcia was one of the bright spots through the preseason. He only lost his starting job when the Broncos signed former All-Pro Evan Mathis. Garcia has the versatility to play virtually any position on the offensive line which increases his value.

Mathis and fellow guard Louis Vasquez are both dealing with minor injuries and Garcia could continue to see more playing time if their injuries linger, or worse, escalate. As the offensive line continues to evolve, there isn’t a starter who is safe and Garcia appears to be capable as he continues to wait on his opportunities.

His seven snaps on Sunday against Oakland rated poorly, but so did the rest of the young linemen. Having adapted to multiple position changes while at Florida, we’re confident he can adapt to the NFL game if given more snaps.
