Su’a Cravens

Well, 2018 was a huge disappointment for Su’a Cravens. After the entire offseason of his desire to play for the Denver Broncos came true, Broncos Country believed that he could be the blitzing safety/linebacker player the Broncos have been searching for since the departure of T.J. Ward.

However, Cravens began the year on injured reserve. He returned halfway through the season, but he was not the same player that Broncos Country was expecting. Too many mistakes ultimately ended with him being benched at the end of the season.

Maybe Vance Joseph was unsure of how to really utilize him. Perhaps being out of the league for so long due to injures gave Cravens the yips.

I honestly believe that Vic Fangio could get the most out of Cravens. He still has two more years left on his deal. If the Denver Broncos would have him back, I believe we could see the best Su’a Cravens yet.
