DeMarcus Walker, DL

It would be nice to see DeMarcus Ware play, just in general.

Vance Joseph keeps saying Walker is the victim of the number’s game on the defensive line, and it’s clear the Broncos have a deep rotation up front, but why is a former second-round pick not getting any action?

Walker has not exactly been Aaron Donald when given the chance to play, but he has made some plays and is a valuable interior rusher.

Shelby Harris has really commanded the role the Broncos thought Walker could coming out of Florida State, which is part of the reason he’s not playing right now.

At some point, though, the Broncos need to get this guy on the field and let him put something on tape. Otherwise they are wasting another major investment.
