- Broncos roster: OG Ben Powers (No. 74) returns as starter on offensive line
Broncos Wire 's 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at seventh-year guard Ben Powers , No 74.
Before the Broncos :Powers (6-4, 310 pounds) was originally selected by the Baltimore Ravens in the fourth round (123rd overall) of the 2019 NFL draft out of Oklahoma. In Power's rookie year, he only played in one game before becoming an entrenched starter in 2020. In his second season, Powers dressed for 16 games, starting seven of them.

In 2021, Powers started 12 of 13 games played in, transitioning from right guard to left guard for the first time in his career. In 2022, Powers started all 17 games, including Baltimore's lone playoff game. Despite having won the full-time job with the Ravens , the team let Powers walk in free agency the following spring.
Broncos tenure:Powers didn't wait long to sign with the Denver Broncos at the outset of 2023 free agency. With the Broncos, Powers immediately slotted into a starting role. In 2023, Powers started all 17 games, including 100 percent of offensive snaps in addition to time on special teams, playing 1,134 total snaps (per Pro Football Reference). In 2024, Powers again started all 17 games and Denver's singular playoff game, playing a total of 1,172 snaps during the year ( PFR ).
Chances to make the 53-man roster:100 percent. Powers and the rest of the Broncos' starting offensive linemen return for the second-straight year. Powers is solidly in command of his spot on the line, ready to protect sophomore quarterback Bo Nix and hopefully kickstart last year's underwhelming rushing attack in 2025.
