Defensive Line (6, 30/53)

Right now, the defensive line group is probably the most solidified on the team.

The Denver Broncos re-signed Shelby Harris in the offseason to a three-year, $27 million deal and he will obviously be the leader of this group in 2021.

Mike Purcell is coming back from injury, but the Broncos added some insurance in the form of Shamar Stephen, someone GM George Paton knows well from their time together with the Minnesota Vikings.

Dre’Mont Jones has emerged as one of the top young players on the team and is ready for an expanded role in 2021.

McTelvin Agim got some playing time as a rookie but the expectations will be higher for the former top-100 pick in 2021 to contribute.

DeShawn Williams is a fun story of resilience as a guy that has been cut more times than he probably cares to recount. He earned himself a full-time role with the Broncos last year and had 37 tackles, six QB hits, four tackles for loss, two sacks, and three batted passes.

I think rookie seventh-round pick Marquiss Spencer is getting slightly overlooked here, but starting off on the practice squad seems to be ideal for him in year one.
