It’s both callous and undeniably true to call Bradley Chubb’s sophomore season a bit of a disappointment. The man they call “astronaut” got off to a rocket start to his NFL career, with 12 sacks through his first 13 games. While some in Broncos’ Country were disappointed he could not keep up that remarkable pace and take the rookie sack record to finish 2018, others considered his rookie season very impressive.
After Vic Fangio was hired to replace Vance Joseph, the hope was Chubb and Von Miller would combine to form a more terrifying pass rush duo than Chicago’s Khalil Mack and Leonard Floyd.
