ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos' defensive line is banking on size translating to excellence.
As the Broncos have signed bigger defensive linemen in free agency -- Zach Kerr and Domata Peko are listed graciously on the Broncos' roster at 334 and 325 pounds, respectively -- they also have asked returning members of the team to get bigger.
Defensive end Jared Crick, who played more snaps on the defensive line last season than any other Bronco (82 percent), might be Exhibit A. Crick, Derek Wolfe and Adam Gotsis are among the defensive linemen who have said their goal this offseason was to gain some weight.
