Demarcus Walker – DE

For Demarcus Walker, it has been a long journey in such a short amount of time. He was drafted as a defensive end, but switched to edge rusher because of injuries. Last season saw him struggle quite a bit mostly because of switching back to defensive end.

Vance Joseph opted to put him on the inactive list week in and week out. It puzzled a lot of Broncos Country. But now making the final roster will be tough sledding for the 2017 second round draft pick.

Denver drafted Dre’Mont Jones in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Both players are expected to battle each other for a roster spot.

With Jones having the most upside, it will be a big time challenge for Demarcus Walker in 2019 to even make the final roster.
