The Denver Broncos saw firsthand in the 2020 season how valuable having a deep stable of pass rushers can be.
When Von Miller went down just days before the 2020 season opener for the entire season, it was a detriment to the team’s already slight playoff hopes before the year even got going.
Thankfully, the Broncos had players like Malik Reed and Jeremiah Attaochu to hold down the fort, but there is no question that they could have upgraded their depth in the offseason and, as a matter of fact, they had tried to do just that.
