Josh Watson

Stats

Tackles: 2

Watson, who played collegiately at Colorado State, make a strong push to make the 53-man roster in the preseason. He was waived prior to the start of the season but signed as a member of the team’s practice squad.

He was called up to the main roster and played in eight regular-season games, playing exclusively on special teams.

Watson had a solid campaign and proved that he can help a team at the professional level.

Grade: C+

Overall grade

The injury to Chubb was crippling to the team, which was struggling mightily at the time. But with guys like Reed and Attaochu chipping in, the Broncos did a fair job of replacing the superstar.

The group could look a bit different next season with Davis, Attaochu and Nelson becoming unrestricted free agents this offseason.

Collectively, it’s a growing group but one the team will need more production out of in 2020 if the defense is going to be among the best in the league.

Grade: B-
