Broncos Develop O-Line Gem: Casey's Interior Push
11 Aug
Summary
- Rookie Kage Casey is adapting to interior offensive line positions.
- Sean Payton highlights Casey's intelligence and quick feet.
- Casey will also receive reps at center before the season.
The Denver Broncos have prioritized fortifying their offensive line since Head Coach Sean Payton's arrival, investing in both high-profile signings and developing later-round talent. In the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, the team selected Kage Casey from Boise State, a player with significant college experience at left tackle.
Casey, a three-year starter and two-time All-American, is embracing a transition to interior offensive line positions, including left guard, with the Broncos. Head Coach Sean Payton has expressed high regard for Casey's versatility, intelligence, and quick feet, which were key factors in his selection. Casey himself has stated his commitment to playing wherever the team needs him.
Furthering his adaptability, Casey is now also being prepared to play center, receiving reps and expected playing time at the position leading up to the regular season. This cross-training approach is seen as a strategic move to bolster the offensive line's depth and long-term outlook, especially considering the contract situations of other offensive linemen.
