Don’t Forget About: Su’a Cravens, S

The Broncos traded for Cravens, a safety who was with the Redskins previously, this offseason.

He does not have a ton of experience in the league, as he is only 23-years-old. However, He should fit in perfectly with the Denver Broncos’ defense.

He will be competing for a chance to be the team’s nickel linebacker. Yes, a linebacker. His versatility at multiple positions is what makes the acquisition of him so appealing.

So, at the end of the day, the Broncos could have three safeties on the field at one time: Darian Stewart, Justin Simmons/Will Parks, and Cravens.

Or, they could have an extra linebacker to pair with Von Miller, Brandon Marshall, and Todd Davis (or Bradley Chubb, or Josey Jewell).

The linebacker position for the Denver Broncos is extremely strong this season. Cravens may be a guy that people will look past due to other big names at the linebacker position. But don’t sleep on him.

He’s about to ball out in Denver and revive his career.
