Bryce Callahan, CB
Coming into the 2020 season, there was a lot of pressure on the cornerback room. Bryce Callahan was coming off of an injury that led him to miss the 2019 season, and A.J. Bouye undoubtedly had big shoes to fill with the departure of Chris Harris Jr.
Arguably, expectations were higher for Bouye than Callahan. Many expected small doses of Callahan, or for Callahan to not be much of a contributing factor as he adjusted to time actually on the field with the Denver Broncos.
Well, it didn’t work out that way.
Bryce Callahan made an impact on this secondary almost immediately, and outside of Justin Simmons, has arguably been the best player in the grouping so far this season.
Callahan was definitely a bright spot on Sunday where few were to be had, playing good coverage and with a huge pass deflection that may have prevented another score.
Callahan has been so efficient this season, a welcome aspect when inconsistency has plagued the Broncos thus far. Here’s to hoping the Denver Broncos get at least a couple more seasons of Callahan.
