Jeremiah Attaochu

2019 Stats: 21 tackles, 3.5 sacks

Attaochu burst onto the scene in Denver around the halfway point of the season. He has become quite the player that can spell if needed. His abilities to get to the quarterback can really help this defense out.

The Broncos are interested in bringing him back. But it all comes down to a few things. He could come back as part of the second wave of free agency. But only time will tell. In my eyes, he was pretty good given Chubb was gone for the year.

Grade: B

Justin Hollins

2019 Stats: 21 tackles, one sack

It feels like once Bradley Chubb went down, it was basically a revolving door opposite Von Miller for the most part. Hollins had some solid numbers as a rookie.

While there were not any flashy moments, he was able to record his first sack in the NFL. We will see what he can do in 2020. But it does look promising.

Grade: B-
