For years, the Denver Broncos have been plagued by poor special teams under the supervision of STC Tom McMahon. Again in 2021, the team ranked near the bottom of every metric. They ranked 30th in special teams DVOA, down from 24th the year before. Diontae Spencer was the least effective kick-returner in the league, averaging a measly 17.1 yards per return on 17 returns, the lowest of any returner with at least 10 returns according to PFF. Spencer wasn’t much better in the punt game, averaging 7.9 YPR on 25 returns and muffed a couple chances in the process.
