Denver Broncos: Three Texans to Keep an Eye On

Whitney Mercilus

With the Texans defense you hear the names of J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney but they also boast another very underrated linebacker in Whitney Mercilus. Mercilus is an impact player who doesn’t receive the recognition he deserves.

He currently leads the team in sacks with 4.5 adding to his 12 picked up last season. With Okung’s availability uncertain the Broncos will face two talented pass rushers with question marks on the offensive line. Keeping Mercilus out of Trevor Siemian’s face will hopefully allow for more production out of the offense.
