Darius Kilgo, DL

Kilgo had a really strong training camp and preseason last year as a rookie, and earned a spot on the 53-man roster as a high-upside 6th rounder out of Maryland.

He had 11 tackles, two sacks, and a pass batted down in the pre-season but finished the regular season with just six tackles. The Broncos had an incredibly deep group of defensive linemen, so that wasn’t really a surprise.

This year, the Broncos are again pushing Kilgo in terms of their depth. He will primarily play nose tackle but is athletic enough to kick out and play one of the DE spots if needed.
