Outside Linebacker

You’ll be hard pressed to find a position group as stacked with talent as the Broncos are off the edge.

Starting with Super Bowl 50 MVP Von Miller, the Broncos have star power and someone who can absolutely dominate games at his position off the edge.

Miller is such a dynamic threat, he often faces double teams, chips, and even triple teams.

He still manages to be one of the most productive edge players in the game.

In addition to Miller, the Broncos have one of the most underrated edge players in the NFL in Shaquil Barrett.

Barrett is a stud run defender and hoping to set a career mark in sacks this season, a contract year.

The Broncos drafted Bradley Chubb with the fifth overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, and Chubb enhances what was already a strong position with his elite combination of size, athleticism, strength, and quickness.

Along with Miller, Barrett, and Chubb, Shane Ray is hoping for a bounce-back season and just received word that he will not require surgery and should be ready to go by the start of the 2018 season.

Ray is a phenomenal pass rusher when healthy.

The Broncos also brought in undrafted free agent Jeff Holland, who was a standout at OTAs according to Joe Woods.
