INSIDE LINEBACKER
Made Roster: Brandon Marshall, Todd Davis, Zaire Anderson, Corey Nelson
A former practice squad cast-off of the Jacksonville Jaguars. An undrafted standout poached from the practice squad of the New Orleans Saints. An undrafted free agent. A former seventh round pick.
Those are the men occupying the inside linebacker position on the Broncos’ depth chart, and all of them bring the wood. Brandon Marshall received a nice contract extension this offseason, while Todd Davis and the rest of the backups earned a significant vote of confidence as the Broncos didn’t really make an effort to upgrade this spot in the offseason.
The good news? Zaire Anderson looks phenomenal, and this is a unit that can be an area of strength after Danny Trevathan signed a nice new deal in Chicago with the Bears.
All of these guys do a number of things really well, and it wouldn’t surprise me to see all of them have a big role this season.
