Defensive End: Derek Wolfe, Adam Gotsis, Zach Kerr, DeMarcus Walker, Clinton McDonald (29/53)

Nose Tackle: Domata Peko, Shelby Harris (31/53)

The Broncos have a very solid defensive line, led by Derek Wolfe and Domata Peko. These are two guys who are key to stopping the run.

Gotsis has gotten a lot of experience as well and should continue to develop into a big, strong defensive end to help the Broncos for years to come.

Walker moved to the defensive line after spending his rookie season at linebacker, where he failed.

He has looked a lot better in his move and could be a key factor in the team’s run defense after bulking up for the position change.

In four seasons, defensive end Zach Kerr has recorded 83 tackles, as well as six sacks. He is going to be in the team’s rotation at defensive end, as teams always switch out players in different situations during games.

Peko has been one of my favorite players since he came to the Broncos. It’s refreshing to see a big nose tackle be able to get past the line of scrimmage through offensive linemen and get to the quarterback or running back.

At 33-years-old, Peko is one of the oldest players on the team. I believe he still has some really good years ahead of him and I hope they are all with the Broncos.
