An experienced land development and real estate executive, Darwin Horan serves as president of Ventana Capital, where he controls more than $200 million in assets and oversees one of the largest real estate portfolios in Colorado. When he isn't working to expand the company's portfolio, Darwin Horan enjoys following his favorite National Football League (NFL) team, the Denver Broncos.After winning the Super Bowl in 2015, the Broncos have failed to qualify for the playoffs in the last two seasons and have a combined win-loss record of 14-18. However, with a new season comes renewed optimism, and the Broncos' 2018 schedule favors an improved season. Only four of Denver's 16 regular season games are against teams that made the playoffs in 2017; the Broncos play the Kansas City Chiefs twice and also play the Los Angeles Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers at home in week 6 and week 12, respectively. The season begins on September 9 with a home game against the Seattle Seahawks. The Broncos last hosted the Seahawks in 2010, when the team scored a 31-14 victory. Denver's bye week is week 10, following which it closes out its season with a seven-game stretch that includes games against the Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals, San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders, Cleveland Browns, and two against the Los Angeles Chargers. Combined, the Broncos 2018 opponents posted a 122-134 record in 2017, which gives the team the fifth-most favorable schedule. The Houston Texans have the weakest schedule with a combined opponents record of 116-140.
A business alumnus of Arizona State University, Darwin Horan resides in Englewood, Colorado, where he serves as president of Ventana Capital and holds positions on numerous metro district boards. Beyond his professional pursuits, Darwin Horan is a fan of the National Football League's (NFL) Denver Broncos. NFL free agency opened on March 14 and the Broncos made waves by signing quarterback Case Keenum to a two-year, $36 million contract. A native of Abilene, Texas, Keenum was signed by the Houston Texans as a college free agent in 2013. The Texans lost all eight games he started that season, while Keenum had nine touchdowns and six interceptions to go along with a 54.2 completion percentage. He was slightly better in his two-year stint with the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams, but only established himself as a premier quarterback this past season with the Minnesota Vikings.Keenum started 14 games with the Vikings in 2017 and led the team to a win-loss record of 11-3, while throwing for 22 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also had a career-best 67.6 completion percentage and a quarterback rating of 98.3. The 30 year old is projected to start next season for the Broncos, but the team also has a top-five pick in the upcoming NFL Draft which it might use to select a promising collegiate quarterback like Josh Allen, Josh Rosen, Baker Mayfield, or Sam Darnold.

The Broncos missed the playoffs for a second consecutive season after posting their lowest win total since 2010. Consequently, changes were made to the team's coaching staff.

Meanwhile, Modkins brings 23 years of coaching experience to his role as running backs coach and has worked in a variety of roles with the San Francisco 49ers, the Buffalo Bills, the Detroit Lions, and the Chicago Bears. Finally, Kugler is returning to the NFL after a five-year stint as head coach of the University of Texas at El Paso. Throughout his career, he has coached NFL offensive line stars and collegiate prospects such as Ryan Clady, Maurkice Pouncey, and Will Hernandez.
