With a deep outside linebacker position, Derrek Tuszka could either contribute to a great extent or be a practice squad candidate for the Broncos.

It would not be surprising either way.

Tuszka was one of the most exciting picks in the 2020 draft class by the Broncos in my opinion.

Tuszka has a high motor and the ability to get to the backfield and I think that he can be a great addition to the Broncos defense in a rotation role.

As a seventh-round pick, Tuszka’s chances of making the initial game-day roster aren’t great, but some said that about Tom Brady. Remember how that worked out? You cannot count out a player just because of his draft position.

Denver already has two strong starters in Von Miller and Bradley Chubb. But Tuszka’s ability to lay big hits on offensive players is very exciting. All he needs to do is put on a little more weight to become a true outside linebacker and then learn all he can from Miller and Chubb.

Let me tell you. I strongly believe that Tuszka will make a big impact for the Broncos.
