Keishawn Bierria, LB, Washington
Bierria was selected in the sixth round by the Broncos after impressing them on a pre-draft visit to the team’s facility in April.
The four-year starter and one of the team captains of the Huskies played his best football during the team’s two-year stretch of dominant defensive play from 2015-16.
In 2016, Bierria tied a school record with five fumble recoveries and was seemingly always in the right place at the right time.
He didn’t set any school records for tackling, nor was he a guy that came off the edge a whole lot, but Bierria provides stability and depth at linebacker, as well as on special teams.
This is a dependable player who proved over the course of his college career that he can be an asset as a run player and someone who can attack the line of scrimmage.
