The Broncos provided Vic Fangio with another versatile defender Saturday with the selection of Oregon linebacker Justin Hollins in the fifth round (No. 156 overall) of the NFL draft.
Hollins, a fifth-year senior, appeared in 52 career college games with 184 tackles (36 for loss) and 14 sacks. He was the only player in the nation last season with at least five sacks, five forced fumbles and one interception. Collins also earned first-team All-Pac-12 honors in addition to defensive MVP of the East-West Shrine game.
Hollins was primarily an edge rusher at Oregon, but Broncos general manager John Elway posted Saturday on Twitter that Hollins “can play inside and outside” linebacker.
