Intangibles

We know based on the 2018 NFL Draft the Broncos put together how much intangibles mean to them.

As a matter of fact, the Broncos almost exclusively drafted team captains from their respective college teams.

Though Bush was not a senior this past year at Michigan, he was named a team captain. He also played in 39 career games and was twice named an All-Big Ten Academic selection.

Watching Bush play, his energy is infectious. He’s a fiery type of player who can rally the troops with a big play and that energy never stops.

The defensive side of the ball — especially with Vic Fangio at the helm — is going to be a strength for the Broncos. There are a number of leaders on the defense but Bush would be able to slowly and surely become the heart and soul, as he did at Michigan.

This guy has worked incredibly hard to give himself an edge despite his lack of size (Bush is 5-11) and that hard work shows up when he’s on the field.
