Bradley Chubb, outside linebacker

When the Denver Broncos drafted Bradley Chubb, for whatever reason the fanfare around the pick wasn’t the same as when the Chargers drafted Joey Bosa or when the Raiders drafted Khalil Mack.

Yet Chubb was every bit as good of a prospect, at least he was in my opinion.

He’s showing this offseason why the lack of respect (he was rated 80 overall by Madden) is going to make pretty much everyone except Broncos fans look like fools.

Chubb was dominant on Monday night against the 49ers showing off his speed, strength, power, and ability to seal the deal with a strip-sack.

The Broncos already have a true superstar on one side of the field in Von Miller, and now they have a budding superstar on the other side. We saw Chubb rack up 12 sacks last year as a rookie, but after seeing him against the 49ers, it’s hard to imagine he won’t beat that number in 2019.
