Yes, the Broncos offensive line has struggled at times. However, Paradis has been the consistent star in terms of the men tasked with protecting the league’s most important position: the quarterback.

It is unfortunate that Paradis went down with an injury during the 2018 season. He is due to become a free agent when the new league year begins and there is a chance that he may not be brought back.

It would be a shame if the Broncos do not re-sign Paradis, even after his injury. Keeping the offensive line intact is going to be important.

Yes, a fullback. A fullback that helped an undrafted rookie, Phillip Lindsay, top 1,000 rushing yards in his first year.

The Denver Broncos rushed the football 94 fewer times in 2018 than they did in 2017 but still came out with more rushing yards in 2018.

It wasn’t by much, but the number of rushing attempts is pretty insane if you ask me.
