OBNUG Roster Update: Kickers

Spring football gets OBNUG in the mood to speculate, so over the next few weeks, we will be making blind guesses as to who will be starting for the Broncos in the fall. We’ll do it position-by-position. Today: Kickers.

Kickers

Ideal candidate: Pele


Worst candidate: a member of the Gramatica family


Actual candidates: Kyle Brotzman, Brock Jaramillo, Brad Elkin

OBNUG's pick: Brotzman for field goals, Elkin for punts. Brotzman could be up for Lou Groza consideration this season, and he was one of the most important players on the Bronco team last year. His value to the 2007 squad was magnified due to the lack of an effective Elkin, leaving all kicking duties in Brotzman's hands. We think Elkin will step it up this year, mostly because there is really no other place to step it. He was pretty bad.
