The Denver Broncos made a bit of a splash with the acquisition of former Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco. It seems he is excited to get acquainted with his new wide receivers.

The Broncos feature plenty of young talent in their receiving corps. According to Zack Kelberman of 247 Sports, Flacco is already impressed his new teammates in the passing game:

“[I’m] excited about them,” he said last week. “I just think personality-wise, you can tell they are a hard-working group. They’re not very selfish. They go out there and they work hard. I think when you have that as a good foundation, you can tell you can go a long way with it.”

Joe Flacco's excitement is certainly understandable. He had spent the last few years in a rather conservative Ravens offense that lacked true depth at wide receiver. Fortunately, that does not seem to be the case with the Broncos.

Denver already has a bonafide No. 1 wideout in Emmanuel Sanders. He finished as the team's leading receiver last season after hauling in 71 receptions for 868 yards and four touchdowns. Although he is currently recovering from an Achilles injury, he should still serve as a viable option in the passing game moving forward.

Meanwhile, wide receiver Courtland Sutton also seems to be poised for a big year in 2019. He emerged as a go-to option for the Broncos down the stretch and finished the 2018 campaign with 42 receptions for 704 yards and four touchdowns. Sutton could very well emerge as Denver's top wideout this season with Sanders still recovering.
