ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Actual on-field work for the Broncos remains two weeks away, but a chunk of their newest players received jersey numbers as voluntary offseason workouts got under way Monday. Among last month's veteran signings, all but Shelley Smith (http://www.denverbroncos.com/team/roster/shelley-smith/80f63d0b-69bc-473d-abd4-37a90fc4e071/) have jersey numbers:




TE James Casey: No. 80
TE Owen Daniels (http://www.denverbroncos.com/team/roster/owen-daniels/83e808ea-892b-477a-9cfb-8365a13ea7fd/): No. 81
C Gino Gradkowski (http://www.denverbroncos.com/team/roster/gino-gradkowski/4f99c28a-4e7d-4915-b894-66b9319170e5/): No. 77
DE Antonio Smith (http://www.denverbroncos.com/team/roster/antonio-smith/d6860b7d-26bb-41b6-aec1-2b2f4045c1eb/): No. 90
S Darian Stewart (http://www.denverbroncos.com/team/roster/darian-stewart/cc7abaf4-71f7-4f43-8505-089debc6b670/): No. 26
LB Reggie Walker (http://www.denverbroncos.com/team/roster/reggie-walker/32916534-348e-4e3e-b67f-f690e6f94686/): No. 56
DE Vance Walker (http://www.denverbroncos.com/team/roster/vance-walker/f7b4fb72-8817-45b6-b5b7-06d9c6bdcfa2/): No. 96


Three offseason pickups with no prior regular-season experience also have jersey numbers: tight end Joe Don Duncan (http://www.denverbroncos.com/team/roster/joe-don-duncan/0aed5931-d520-4785-8056-24bdcf9fd679/) (No. 42), safety Ross Madison (http://www.denverbroncos.com/team/roster/ross-madison/d9a4a49d-3a4f-405b-8bf2-57d3477d1b08/) (No. 34) and defensive end Chase Vaughn (http://www.denverbroncos.com/team/roster/chase-vaughn/81804051-1910-4237-99bd-219026e12a33/) (No. 49). Vaughn wore that jersey number during training camp last summer.


In addition to Smith, seven new Broncos will be issued jersey numbers before the minicamp and OTA portions of offseason work: guard Shelley Smith, cornerbacks Tevrin Brandon (http://www.denverbroncos.com/team/roster/tevrin-brandon/e3eee5cd-9d0d-4699-bad9-54c4bc6bfcd9/) and Curtis Marsh (http://www.denverbroncos.com/team/roster/curtis-marsh/67ebdac8-3443-4f10-ba3c-c0d265ed3014/), wide receivers Jeremy Kelley (http://www.denverbroncos.com/team/roster/jeremy-kelley/c3fdae6e-4880-4484-8681-b1eef929fb3c/), Kerry Taylor (http://www.denverbroncos.com/team/roster/kerry-taylor/7e37822d-96c6-4c03-84c1-39b94e849059/) and Kyle Williams (http://www.denverbroncos.com/team/roster/kyle-williams/fd004440-9aad-4281-8838-6c625ff6b6a0/), linebacker Danny Mason (http://www.denverbroncos.com/team/roster/danny-mason/f353f5bc-1c4f-4b78-a7da-9bc4d1d71523/) and kicker/punter Karl Schmitz (http://www.denverbroncos.com/team/roster/karl-schmitz/0b1fa2d2-c8e1-4073-87d0-ed84701fc16b/).

Kyle Williams? The guy who cost the Niners a playoff game a few years ago?

Yeah, the same one:


Williams' time with the 49ers will most be remembered for his two fumbles against the New York Giants (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/nyg/new-york-giants) in the 2011 NFC Championship Game that played prominent roles in the 49ers' defeat.

If we're going to add a fumble-prone kick returner, I'd just as soon bring back Trindon Holliday. At least Holliday made touchdowns as well as gaffes.

If they're going to be living in Denver why were they given New Jersey numbers? Seems confusing.

Interesting that they gave Duncan more of a common FB number rather than a common TE number.
