ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Scan across Jack Del Rio’s defense and you’ll quickly notice an entire contingent of key contributors who were either undrafted or were selected at the back end of the NFL Draft.
Linebacker Wesley Woodyard, cornerback Chris Harris, safety Duke Ihenacho, defensive tackle Mitch Unrein, defensive end Malik Jackson, linebacker Danny Trevathan, linebacker Steven Johnson – the list of defensive playmakers on the Broncos who fit the criteria seems to stretch on and on.
And in his Thursday press conference, the defensive coordinator addressed the core of once-hidden talent that has flourished with the Broncos, noting that his expectations for players don’t concern the limits that others have placed upon them. Instead, he takes into consideration the persistence, competitiveness, desire and resilience that players exhibit when they enter the league.
