The ballhawks, the busters and a place called the “no fly zone”. They all have one thing in common. The Broncos defensive secondary embraces all of those qualities and applies them to their stellar play. In this part of Brick, Mortar, Scrap, we take a look at all of the DB’s and their prospects for staying great going forward.

BRICKS

Player: Chris Harris Jr.

Explanation: Like many other bricks in the series, there isn’t much I need to explain. Harris has been nothing short of fantastic in his five seasons with the Broncos and after signing a lucrative five year extension last season, it’s clear that Harris will be a mainstay in the Broncos backfield for a long time.

That’s incredible. Between his great play and much of his rookie contract left to be played, I don’t see Roby going anywhere.
