Way back on Aug. 14, Broncos safety Trey Marshall and cornerbacks Bryce Callahan and Michael Ojemudia opened training camp with interceptions.
The Broncos should hope that established the foundation for takeaway improvement. Last year, only five NFL teams had fewer than the Broncos’ 17 takeaways. Among their seven interceptions, only one was by a full-time cornerback (Chris Harris, who is now with the Chargers).
Last season fell off the rails when the defense produced no takeaways, which meant no short fields for a struggling offense, no momentum swings and no wins (0-4 start).
