Dalton Risner, LG

Let’s just remind everyone really quickly that Dalton Risner was the 10th offensive lineman selected in the 2019 NFL Draft.

This play he made against the Green Bay Packers really personifies the type of effort and heart this guy plays with on a week-by-week basis.

Risner is flat out special.

It doesn’t matter what he’s being tasked with, he’s played like a first-round pick so far in 2019.

The fundamentals are there. The nastiness is there. The consistency is there. Everything the Broncos thought they were getting from this Colorado kid, they have gotten.

He’s been tremendous, not just picking up running backs and putting them in the end zone, but doing his job and creating running lanes, protecting the quarterback, and getting out to pull.

Overall grade: A
