While Russell Wilson is getting all the headlines in Denver, don't sleep on the Broncos' pass rush this season. FrontOffice33 | BroncosCountry
Gregory is coming off of shoulder surgery, but he’s also just completed one of the best seasons of his career with six sacks, four additional tackles for a loss, three forced fumbles, and even a pick. He’ll presumably be one of the Broncos’ starting pass-rusher opposite Chubb, who is bound to have a bounce-back now that he’ll be healthy for another full season.
Browning and Bonitto represent strong depth behind Gregory and Chubb as well. After a strong rookie season that featured 58 tackles and a couple of defended passes as an off-ball linebacker, Browning will get the chance to go after the quarterback in year two. Browning showed flashes of potential when blitzing off the edge at Ohio State in limited situations, and the Broncos hope he can shine in a pass-rushing role at the NFL level.
Bonitto is much more familiar with that role, having filled it for a few years at Oklahoma before his selection in the 2022 NFL Draft in April. In three years with the Sooners, Bonitto had 18.5 sacks as an edge rusher who thrived with his high motor and explosive first step. He’s good at generating power with his hands and using them in counter moves to get past opposing linemen and pressure the quarterback.
With a foursome of Chubb, Gregory, Browning, and Bonitto, the Broncos have a rotation of edge rushers that is sneakily among the NFL’s most talented groups. In a division that has so much quarterback talent, Denver will be in the middle of contention for an AFC West title if the combination of their four-headed pass-rush attack and strong secondary limit the damage that Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, and Derek Carr can do with their arms.
