Calvin Anderson carved out a niche with the Broncos the past two seasons on the mantra “always be ready.” Now, the fourth-year pro has a chance to turn that into a starting job at a position that’s been a revolving door for Denver during much of the past decade. Two weeks into a right tackle competition coach Nathaniel Hackett declared open last spring, the most experienced candidates to solve the annual RT riddle — Billy Turner (68 starts) and Tom Compton (44 starts) — have yet to exit the PUP list at training camp. That’s left Anderson, who’s made five career starts, with a chance to sop up all the reps with the first-team offense and make a case he’s the one who can finally solve one of the team’s most persistent roster problems. “I told the guys upstairs when I signed (a one-year deal), my goal is to solidify that position and be an impact player on the team,” Anderson said after practice Tuesday. To be clear: Anyone who can solidify the right tackle position for the Broncos would immediately qualify as an impact player. It’s been 10 years since a player has started every regular season game for the Broncos at right tackle (Orlando Franklin, 2012).
