The title of “Most Controversial Denver offensive Lineman” is a constant battle between Ben Powers and center Luke Wattenberg, and there is a clear winner in my book. It’s been quite a while since the Broncos have had a center they could truly rely on week-to-week, and they had that for one season in Lloyd Cushenberry III, but that’s about it. And over the last two years there’s been a position battle between Wattenberg and Alex Forsyth (maybe not actually, but us the fans have seemingly thought so) and Wattenberg has won them both.
This must mean that the coaching staff thinks Wattenberg is the best center on the roster. But does that mean he’s actually good?
