Despite losing Bradley Chubb early in 2019, the Denver Broncos’ linebacker corps had a respectable 2019 season.

Stats

Tackles: 21

Sacks: 3.5

Tackles for loss: 5.5

Fumble recoveries: 1

When Chubb went down for the season, the team went looking for help and they decided to bring in Attaochu, who was out of the league at the time. It ended up working out quite nicely.

Only four players had more sacks than Attaochu and though he will be an unrestricted free agent, he made a strong case to be brought back.

Grade: B+

Stats

Tackles: 21

Sacks: 1

Hollins, the team’s fifth-round pick, had a quiet rookie season and lost snaps to players such as Reed and Attaochu. He did manage to record his first career sack in a November victory over the Cleveland Browns, but he will need to do something to prove he still belongs on the team in 2020.
