Broncos defensive backfield is their biggest strength on defense
In our survey last week, I asked which position group was the strongest on defense for the Denver Broncos (-3.5)
. And while cornerback won the plurality of votes, safety was a strong second. Combined, they made up 86% of the vote. The defensive backfield is where this defense is strongest in 2023.
Led by Pat Surtain II and Justin Simmons, the Broncos should be well set with their starters at both the cornerback and safety position groups. They have young talent like Caden Sterns and Delarrin Turner-Yell back there too, but the decision to bring back Kareem Jackson likely keeps the entire unit strong in both depth and leadership.
