Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell runs the 40-yard dash at the NFL football scouting combine in Indianapolis, Thursday, Feb. 27, 2025. Greenlaw , Strnad , Alex Singleton , Drew Sanders , Levelle Bailey , K.
J. Cloyd Best-case scenario the Broncos have depth inside this year and beyond. Greenlaw stays healthy and plays like one of the best in the business, Singleton bounces back from ACL surgery in October and Sanders puts it together in the middle of the field after settling in, at long last, to a supposedly permanent role. Of course, that’s not always the way it goes in the NFL. Still, Denver’s got a nice blend of proven production and developmental projects. The biggest risk at this point: Greenlaw, Singleton and Sanders have all dealt with major injuries. So, is ILB likely to be an early area to target? Not so much. But Denver’s always looking for athleticism and projectability, so a linebacker selection at some point along the way certainly can’t be ruled out.A rangy athlete with good cover skills at 6-foot-3 and 235 pounds, Campbell could hear his name called in the first round. Some teams might like him on the edge, but he can be a difference-maker in coverage. Had 117 tackles in 2024. Ran 4.52 in the 40 at the combine and looks like a potential sideline-to-sideline player.Burst onto the scene in 2024, his first season as a starter. Went from role player to first-team All-American. He always seems to find his way to the ball, leading to 136 tackles in 12 games for the Bruins.Not quite as big as the Broncos’ Drew Sanders, but Stutsman’s not entirely dissimilar at 6-3 and 233 pounds. He ran 4.52 in the 40 at the combine and is a really good athlete. A first-team All-American in 2024 with 110 tackles at OU.Started 43 games and appeared in 55 over four seasons for the Ducks, so he’s got major experience. Never put up eye-popping numbers, but that kind of consistency and time on task in a high-quality program will get NFL teams’ attention. Ran 5.63 in the 40 at the Combine at 6-1 and 232 pounds.Paul’s not very big at a shade under 6-1 and 222 pounds, but he was a consistent producer in the SEC for three seasons. He racked up 26 tackles in that span for Arkansas and then Ole Miss last fall. Could be an interesting mid-round developmental project for a team and a missile on special teams right away.The Broncos are no stranger to Buckeye linebackers and Simon is a good one. He’s 6-2 and 229 pounds and is a sure tackler. The likely Day 3 pick racked up 112 tackles and seven sacks in 2024 for the national champs. ABroncos draft preview: Denver’s DL is loaded for 2025, but a critical future need worth addressing early Once a JV kid at Cherry Creek High, NFL prospect Gunnar Helm wants to “leave a blueprint on football”Mondon’s athleticism stands out at 6-2 and 224 pounds. He ran 4.58 at the combine . His biggest statistical seasons for UGA came in 2022.A six-year college player, Kaiser played 69 games for the Irish. Broncos coach Sean Payton said it’s hard to find starting linebackers as rookies, so perhaps an experienced player would help smooth out the learning curve.Played for now-Broncos ILB coach Jeff Schmedding at Auburn in 2022, though Asante appeared in four games and redshirted that season after transferring. Undersized at 6-1 and 223 pounds, but ran a blazing 4.48 in the 40 at the Combine. Younger brother of former NFL linebacker Larry Asante.Like Asante, Walker is small. IU listed him at 6-0 and 219. But he can fly — 4.40 in the 40 at his pro day with a 1.53 10-yard split.
