Denver Broncos Mini Camp Scheduled for June

Posted Mon May 5th by

The Denver Broncos will be holding only one mandatory mini camp this year, scheduled for June 11-13.  They will also be holding a voluntary (basically mandatory) mini camp in late May.

The past few years have seen the Broncos remain the last team to hold their last mini camp, and this remains true this season. In 2006 and 2007 the Broncos mini camp was held just a few weeks before training camp (the only team to plan it that way). This season the Broncos are still the last team to meet, but they’re several weeks ahead compared to those years, giving the players about a month between mini camp and training camp.

Within the division, the Chargers just completed their only mini camp this past weekend; their players don’t have to return to San Diego until their training camp opens in July. The Chiefs held a rookie mini camp this past weekend; the Raiders have a similar event planned this coming weekend. Both will also meet up for their respective mandatory mini camps in early June.

    My understanding was that Shanahan didn’t see the point to holding a stand-alone mini-camp right after the draft as anything learned there will be forgotten before the ‘real’ camp starts. Most teams refer to their first mini-camp as Rookie Camp… we don’t (it’s been called QB camp).

    So, I assumed Shanahan moved the camp back to shorten the time between OTA’s so that more info is retained. I could be entirely wrong, but that’s what I read into the situation.

    For what it’s worth, vets like John Lynch that have done it both ways are pretty out-spoken about liking the Shanahan version… just food for thought.

    Hi, I will be visiting Denver during the mandatory minicamp June 12-14th. Where is the minicamp taking place? And is that minicamp open to the public and the fans? If so that would be very cool. Please let me know. Thanks

    Hey Bronco fans watch for rookie free agent CB Myron Miller this weekend. You are not going to believe his speed and desire. Really tough kid out of small college in NC. Runs a true 4.3 40
