Zaire Anderson

The Swami predicts that Zaire Anderson may be asked to switch his position from inside linebacker to outside linebacker. Zaire in my opinion is a guy who is versatile, and physical enough to play as a rush backer.

Anderson was a spark for the Broncos last year on Special Teams and has earned a roster spot for his impact there. Anderson this season is poised to take the next step towards seeing playing time on the field.

I believe Anderson will challenge Todd Davis inside, but Joe Woods and staff may decide to move Zaire to the edge. Anderson reminds me of Shaq Barrett in many ways, but more versatile.

Would you like to see Zaire step in during Shaq’s absence?
