ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos completed a trade with Washington on Wednesday to acquire safety Su'a Cravens in exchange for draft considerations.
The second-year safety was drafted out of USC in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft with the 53rd-overall selection, bringing a unique skill set that allowed him to play a hybrid linebacker-safety role. He recorded an impressive rookie season showing flashes as a playmaker with an interception, five passes defensed and a sack, but a concussion and an arm injury sidelined him for multiple game.
Heading into his second season, Washington changed defensive coordinators and planned to play Cravens more at safety.
