The Denver Broncos had a season to forget in 2022-23.
In the summer leading up to their doomed campaign, the front office went out and acquired Russell Wilson from the Seattle Seahawks. It cost them a lot financially and in terms of draft capital.
The hope was that Wilson could bring Super Bowl experience to an offense desperately needing it and guide them deep into the playoffs. That didn’t end up happening.
Wilson had the worst year of his career and Denver was one of the league’s most disappointing teams. It got to the point where Wilson was breaking down in tears after games.
While the Broncos’ players didn’t deliver last season, the cheerleading squad definitely did. Specifically, a dancer by the name of Berkleigh Wright really made her mark.
This week Wright announced that as a result of the great year she has had, she was a finalist in the 2023 Sports Illustrated Swim Search.

It’s easy to see why Wright would earn the honor. Her posts on social media prove that she is more than worthy of the distinction.
They get massive engagement on a regular basis, and not just from Broncos fans.

This actually isn’t the first time in recent weeks that a cheerleader has made headlines in this particular fashion. Another dancer’s provocative photo with Philadelphia Eagles star Jalen Hurts also caused something of a stir.
Big picture, cheerleading stuff aside, it will be interesting to see what Wilson and the Broncos can do next year.
So far in the offseason Wilson has made far more headlines for his wild videos with Ciara than any substantive on-the-field work.

But maybe the addition of Sean Payton as head coach will be enough to turn everyone’s fortunes around.
Either way, the Broncos cheerleaders are going to come to play next season, as they always do. Will the players be able to match their level of intensity? Time will tell.
