Two things the Broncos always seem to value in their defensive back prospects are ball skills and experience. Of course, a dash of toughness could always be added in there, and Damontae Kazee fits those descriptions.

He’s not the biggest corner but he knows how to take the football away when it’s in the air, and he would seem to be an excellent potential replacement for Kayvon Webster. He’s shown an ability to take the ball away from the time he stepped on campus at SDSU, and that type of experience and productivity will endear him to the Broncos, I think.
