Edge rushers (OLBs)

(6, 35/50)

  • Von Miller
  • Bradley Chubb
  • Jeremiah Attaochu
  • Malik Reed
  • Justin Hollins
  • Derrek Tuszka

This seems like an excessive amount of edge players to keep around, but the Broncos have to keep their best 53 on the roster and the flexibility of bringing guys off of the practice squad helps at other positions as well.

Malik Reed, Justin Hollins, and Derrek Tuszka would need to prove themselves to be invaluable on special teams to all make the roster, but Hollins’ flexibility at other LB positions also helps his roster chances.

Even with Jeremiah Attaochu’s nice finish to the 2019 season, there’s a chance he could be beaten out by other guys on this list if he doesn’t build off of that strong finish.
