With the departure of Aqib Talib, Bradley Roby will be entering his first offseason as a starting cornerback. It looks as if he is ready for that next step.

The Denver Broncos No Fly Zone has become depleted over the last two seasons. As the 2017 season was about to start, T.J. Ward was surprisingly released. This offseason, the team traded Aqib Talib to the Los Angeles Rams. 2014 first round draft pick Bradley Roby is now the next in line for a starting job.

Following Justin Simmons as a new starter going into the new year, Roby is looking to take the opportunity and run with it. And he will look to rejuvenate the No Fly Zone alongside Chris Harris Jr., Justin Simmons, and Darian Stewart.

Chris Harris Jr. is not worried about Bradley Roby making that next step. Roby himself believes that as well. Focusing more in the new role as starter has helped in a major way. His work in the offseason has paid off so far in training camp.

“Now when I see it in real life in person, I’m starting to dissect it faster than I would normally have. Just that dedication and commitment and keeping my mind on it is what’s helping me.” Roby said to reporters on Tuesday.

Bradley Roby will be a name to keep an eye on as training camp and the season go on. Having spent the first four years as the third cornerback has certainly helped him learn from some of the best corners. In return, he was able to learn a bit of the game as the slot cornerback and has made some great plays.

Broncos Country is looking forward to seeing what Bradley Roby is capable of in 2018. And it looks like he is ready to show the NFL world what he can do.
