On Monday, the Denver Broncos bolstered their defensive line as they kicked off their offseason workouts. The team is expanding its roster to 90 players and will add more through the upcoming draft.
The Broncos are facing a crucial draft, with the quarterback position being the biggest question mark. Head coach Sean Payton is looking to bring in a quarterback who can compete for the starting job this upcoming season. Additionally, the team focuses on improving their presence in the trenches, as evidenced by their recent signing.
Denver has signed defensive tackle Angelo Blackson, according to Mike Klis of 9 News. Blackson, who is 6’4″ and weighs 305 pounds, joins the Broncos on a one-year deal, marking his sixth team in the NFL. With 128 games and 42 starts under his belt, Blackson brings a wealth of experience to the Broncos’ defense.
Blackson’s versatility is a key asset, as he is capable of playing both defensive end and defensive tackle. Throughout his nine-year NFL career, he has accumulated 179 tackles, 8.5 sacks, one interception, and one forced fumble. Despite receiving a 53.8 overall grade from Pro Football Focus for his performance with the Jacksonville Jaguars last season, Blackson’s ability to contribute across the defensive line adds valuable depth to the Broncos’ roster.
