In 2016 Jared Crick tallied 53 tackles and three sacks for the Broncos defense. Crick showed flashes of dominance and came up big for the Broncos in certain pivotal moments last season.
His production not only consisted of rushing the quarterback and stopping the run, but he helped the Broncos at the point of the line of scrimmage batting passes down. The Broncos previously relied on former Bronco Malik Jackson for that role, but Crick stood out in 2016.
Now that Crick has had an offseason to get bigger, faster, and stronger, he is ready to have a breakout year under new Broncos defensive coordinator Joe Woods.
