2. Bradley Chubb
Another player I don’t think the Broncos can live without in 2020?
Bradley Chubb.
This is a little bit of cheating because we’ve already seen the tremendous impact not having Chubb has on the Denver defense.
When Chubb is healthy and active, I would say the Broncos have two of the top 10 edge players in the NFL. When Chubb is not healthy, the production and per-snap effectiveness drop off considerably.
Chubb racked up 36 total pressures and 12 sacks — as a rookie.
Even though the Broncos struggled to sack the QB early in 2019, Chubb still put a ton of pressure on the QB and affected games.
He’s a superstar in the making and the Broncos’ most important cornerstone piece for the future defensively.
