Will Parks

Outside of Justin Simmons and Darian Stewart, Will Parks is utilized the most in the Denver Broncos defense. He has a true knack for the football and can make a big play at any given moment.

Perhaps his biggest moment during the 2018 season was his forced fumble against the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Xavier Grimble appearing to have an easy touchdown, Parks was able to get to him and knock him off his feet. The hit forced the football to come out of his hands and out of the end zone.

It was a momentum swing for the Denver Broncos. And it did not hurt that it came at a point during the season that the team really needed it.

I believe that Parks and Vic Fangio will be a perfect match. And I believe there is more to come from the huge playmaking safety.
