Not only has Russell Okung discovered the fountain of youth and provided the Broncos with elite play at the offensive line’s most important position, but he has proven to be a stabilizing force in the locker room as well. Nearly everyone on the team has lauded the personality of the Broncos only high profile offseason acquisition.

However, Okung has already left one game with injuries this year, and his loss was immediately apparent against a weak Colts front seven. Given that he is coming off a significant injury, that is something to worry about, but so long as he is upright and healthy, the Broncos have a bona fide big time left tackle who could also fly the team to safety in the event of an emergency.
