4. The secondary is going to start forcing turnovers in bunches

The Broncos have a very good secondary, and quite possibly the best safety duo in the NFL with Justin Simmons and Kareem Jackson.

The cornerback position was a pretty big question mark this offseason with Chris Harris Jr. departing and every starter needing to be replaced.

The Broncos may have finally found a winning combination with rookie Michael Ojemudia and De’Vante Bausby on the outside, and veteran Bryce Callahan sliding inside to the nickel.

Even if those guys were the group being relied on going forward, I think the Broncos would have a good shot at increasing their turnover numbers really soon, but the return of AJ Bouye could make that happen even sooner.

The Broncos have a very good secondary, especially when Bouye is healthy, and it’s a group that I think is going to get better as the year progresses.

With or without Bouye, this is a unit that is poised to create a bunch of takeaways.
