Editor’s note: Ninth in a series providing a position-by-position review of the Broncos in 2017 and looking ahead. Today: defensive line.
Nearly every member of the Broncos’ defensive line entered the 2017 season with something to prove.
Domata Peko, at 32 years old, came to Denver to prove he had more in the tank. Adam Gotsis wanted to prove a rocky rookie season wasn’t an indicator of what he could bring to the table as a former second-round pick. Shelby Harris just wanted to prove he deserved a shot from somebody. And, as a whole, the Broncos wanted to prove their failures against the run in 2016 were an aberration.
