Broncos Draft Profile: ILB Leighton Vander Esch

The Denver Broncos have an interesting situation at inside linebacker. While the team did sign Todd Davis to a three year deal. The team also has a solid inside linebacker in Brandon Marshall. However, I am skeptical on Todd Davis’ ability to cover in the passing game. Something that Leighton Vander Esch could do.

Running backs and tight ends have really hurt the Denver Broncos defense in passing situations. I remember watching a game against the Atlanta Falcons and how the running backs were catching passes and really pouring it on the defense.

This is where I can see Leighton Vander Esch really helping the Denver Broncos defense.
