We're kicking off our annual Denver Broncos roster review with a bang—and who better to start with than placekicker Wil Lutz? Over the coming weeks, we'll break down the entire 90-plus man roster, giving you the inside scoop on new faces and returning stars just in time for training camp. Think of it as your ultimate preseason primer.

Let's talk about Lutz: he's not just a starter; he's the undisputed anchor of Denver's special teams. Barring an unexpected injury, his spot on the final 53-man roster is as solid as a well-struck field goal. At 31 years old, entering his 11th NFL season, this Georgia State product brings veteran poise and a proven track record.

By the numbers: Lutz delivered a standout season, nailing 28 of 32 field goal attempts (an impressive 87.5%) and going a perfect 39-for-39 on extra points. His longest boot? A booming 57-yarder. All told, he racked up 123 points over 17 regular-season games—a testament to his reliability when it matters most.

His consistency didn't go unnoticed. Lutz was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Month in October 2025—the second time he's earned that honor in his career. And the Broncos showed their faith by signing him to a three-year, $16.1 million contract extension last November. Smart move.

Now, let's talk about what makes Lutz truly special: clutch performance. He may not have the biggest leg in the league, but he's got an accurate one—and when the game is on the line, he's automatic. Just ask Broncos Country, who watched him deliver game-winning kicks in back-to-back weeks last season, including a playoff-clinching dagger that sent Denver to the AFC Championship Game. Pure magic.

So, what can we expect from Wil Lutz in 2026? More of the same: high-pressure kicks, ice-cold composure, and the kind of reliability that turns a 53-man roster into a contender. Whether you're suiting up for game day or just repping your favorite player, Lutz is proof that precision beats power every time.
