Editor’s note: In Part 3 of the Broncos’ free-agent forecast, a look at inside linebacker Cory Littleton. Part 1: WR Amari Cooper | Part 2: G Joe Thuney
The Broncos had a chance to solve their inside linebacker issue in last year’s draft but passed on Michigan’s Devin Bush in order to trade down 10 spots in the first round. Another opportunity will present itself when free agency opens next week in the form of the Los Angeles Rams’ Cory Littleton.
The Rams’ leading tackler in 2018-19 (259 total stops), Littleton rose from undrafted free agent to special teams core player to standout linebacker on the cusp of a huge contract.
