27 Brendan Langley, CB/ST

The Broncos put a huge vote of confidence in their third round pick Brendan Langley when they named him the no. four cornerback behind Chris Harris Jr., Aqib Talib, and Bradley Roby. The fourth corner (Kayvon Webster) didn’t play many defensive snaps last season, but was a key special teams player.

The Broncos are likely expecting that of Langley as well.

The former wide receiver turned cornerback has plenty of physicality and ball skills, and also the ability to return kicks. Brock Olivo is going to love having him on coverage units this season.

Langley showed great signs of improvement throughout the preseason, and should be considered one of the most impactful rookies in terms of special teams presence this season.
