He played right from the start — 16 games in 2021 and 14 in 2022, including 14 total starts — but was a role player mostly and dealt with injuries along the way.This year, he’s turned in a healthy and available third season and the production has followed.The sack against Stick gave him 8.5 for the year, four more than his first two seasons combined and the most by a Broncos defender in a season since Von Miller finished 2018 with 1...
