The Denver Broncos defense was one of the only bright spots in last year’s 5-12 campaign. While the pass defense definitely is more heralded, it was the guys inside who helped Denver’s defense finish in among the NFL’s best in stopping the run. They finished 10th overall in total yards per game, but finished strong allowing just 87.7 rushing yards per game down the strength.
According to Pro Football Focus, the Broncos inside linebacker position group is still pretty good too. They ranked them 13th overall in the NFL heading in to the 2023 season.
