Denver Broncos: Don't count out Duke Dawson in 2020

The Denver Broncos made a trade in 2019 when rosters were being trimmed down with the New England Patriots for 2018 second-round pick Duke Dawson.

Dawson was basically an injury redshirt in his rookie season with the Patriots, but the Broncos liked him a lot as a prospect and had their eyes on him when they got an up-close look at him during the 2018 Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama.

When the Broncos acquired Dawson, it could have been viewed in a variety of ways.

It could have been (rightly) viewed as insurance for Bryce Callahan, whose foot injury wound up costing him the entire 2019 season.
