Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph enjoys watching the unique traits that each outside linebacker displays. From veteran Frank Clark to second-year Nik Bonitto, they all bring speed, experience and aggression that Joseph is excited to use against opponents this season.
Jonathon Cooper, in particular, is violent — and willing to show it.
Cooper has relentlessly flew in off the edge and attacked quarterbacks throughout training camp. During the team period on Thursday, he burst off the edge to sack Jarrett Stidham.
A seventh-round selection in 2021, Cooper has been a depth piece in Denver’s defense and special teams over the past two seasons.
