When the Denver Broncos popped on the clock in the sixth round of the 2015 NFL Draft, they opted for a massive defensive lineman that can come in and contribute, hopefully right away, in Maryland’s Darius Kilgo.
Kilgo was relatively unheralded as a three-year starter for the Terps. He was ESPN’s 32nd ranked defensive tackle this year, and some felt like was a late-round, priority free agent type. The Broncos obviously saw his near 6-foot-3, 313 pound frame and felt like he had the ability to play some nose tackle in Wade Phillips’ defense.
Let’s take a closer look at Kilgo, what he brings to the table, and how he can carve out a role on the Broncos this year.
