Building Broncos: Secondary, a mixture of continuity, youth are keys to remain NFL’s best unit

Editor’s note: Seventh of an eight-part series breaking down the Broncos’ roster as they reboot under new coach Vance Joseph. Today: the secondary.

The AFC’s Pro Bowl defensive back group looks remarkably similar to what the Broncos fielded every Sunday.

Three of the four members Denver’s starting secondary — Chris Harris, Aqib Talib and Darian Stewart — were rated among the NFL’s best. And the fourth, safety T.J. Ward, was a Pro Bowl alternate. It’s truly an all-star group.

That talent is why the appropriately named No-Fly Zone has been the top-ranked pass defense in both of the last two seasons.
