After having talked about the quarterbacks and 3-4 defensive ends, it’s time to look at another hole in the Broncos all-world 2015 defense, inside linebacker.
Danny Trevathan was the last in a long line of undersized and athletic inside linebackers who have succeeded in Denver. First of which was, probably, Ian Gold (truly we could go back to Tom Jackson as far as star undersized Linebackers go in Broncos history), then with Wesley Woodyard and subsequently with Trevathan and Brandon Marshall. The Broncos could already have a succession plan on their roster in the form of undrafted 2015 rookie Zaire Anderson, another undersized and athletic ILB who fits the Broncos defense and had a very productive career at Nebraska.
