The Denver Broncos’ best position group, despite the losses of Shaquil Barrett and Shane Ray this offseason, remains the outside linebacker position.

The headliner is, of course, Von Miller, Super Bowl 50 MVP, and perennial Defensive MVP candidate.

Miller is in a league of his own, but the Broncos have yet another budding superstar here in Bradley Chubb, the fifth overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Chubb’s rookie season was sensational and despite the number of players here not being as heavy as other position groups, the presence of Miller and Chubb tips the scales considerably.

Behind those two, the Broncos have high hopes for second-year player Jeff Holland and brought in some veteran depth with Dekoda Watson.

They also drafted a promising edge player in Justin Hollins out of Oregon with their fifth-round pick in this year’s draft.

This position group is all sorts of fun.
