Bradley Chubb (age 22)

Chubb was drafted by the Denver Broncos with the fifth overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft out of North Carolina State.

Shane Ray (age 25)

The Broncos traded up in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft in order to select Shane Ray (23rd overall) out of Missouri.

Shaquill Barrett (age 25)

Barrett signed with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent out of Colorado State in 2014 and was originally signed to the practice squad, but moved to the active roster late in the year and has been there ever since. He’s currently on a restricted free agent tender.

Jeff Holland (Practice Squad, age 22)
