Can he fight through to make the team? 2019 Broncos roster review: UDFA wide receiver Trinity Bensondenverbroncos.comIt wasn’t two years ago that John Elway spent a 2017 fifth-round pick on Isaiah McKenzie to provide the Broncos’ return game a shot in the arm. Six fumbles later he found his way to the Buffalo Bills and Denver finished the 2018 season among the worst teams in the league by return average. Which explains the aggressive attempt to address the weakness again this offseason.Trinity Benson is far from a household name after playing his collegiate career at East Central University. That could soon change as the 22-year-old averaged 42 yards a punt return in 2018, to go with his selection as a Great American Conference first-team wide receiver and an honorable mention as a return specialist. Trinity BensonFor his career, the 5-foot-11 182-pound Benson had 1,700 receiving yards, playing both in the slot and outside. Coaches also searched for other ways to get the ball in his hands, including giving him reps as a Wildcat quarterback. Benson rewarded their effort by rushing 54 times for 324 yards and five touchdowns in 2018.The goodBenson offers the kind of long speed to potentially grow into a lot more than a returner. While it’s true he has a huge jump ahead of him coming out of college, he shows the skills to develop into a valuable role player with patience. The badThe Broncos depth chart is short on experienced proven receivers, but Courtland Sutton Shane Ray Jersey , DaeSean Hamilton, and Tim Patrick look like locks for the roster. Emmanuel Sanders should be provided he’s recovered from his 2018 injury and Denver just spent a 6th round pick on Colorado Buffalo Juwann Winfree. Benson is going to have to turn eyes early and often if he’s going to make the final roster out of camp and may not have a long leash to develop. As a receiver, he’s coming into such a new situation it’s impossible to predict with any certainty how he’ll take to NFL route trees and competition. He shows some traits, but his experience in OTAs are the first time he’s ever faced off against anything resembling NFL quality defensive backs. Trinity Benson’s roster status with the BroncosIn my first stab at projecting the Broncos final 53 I gave Trinity Benson a spot. Part of my belief comes from the situation around him. There aren’t many other players on the current roster who offer near as much potential as a returner as Benson could as an legitimate scoring threat. If he can’t show that ability in the preseason though, he’s going to have a really tough time. The more I’ve thought about it, the more I believe the Broncos will hold onto Winfree. That’d mean 5 receiver spots currently look secure. River Cracraft, Benson, and fellow rookie Kelvin McKnight look like they’re all fighting for that last spot. Even then https://www.broncosfanstore.com/Shelby-Harris-Jersey , Rich Scangarello may elect to carry four tight ends over six receivers. Benson’s quickness and speed would be a welcome asset on the Broncos return teams. The second-year player has the potential to make a huge impact in Vic Fangio’s defense this season." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteMile High Reporta Denver Broncos communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsBroncosOddsShopAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Broncos NewsBroncos 2019 Draft ClassBroncos PodcastsBroncos 2019 ScheduleKey Offseason DatesCommunity RulesFull ArchiveBroncos StoriesScheduleRosterStatsOdds Shop About Masthead Community Guidelines StubHub ✕Filed under:Denver Broncos Roster2019 Broncos roster review: Edge Bradley ChubbNew,6commentsThe second-year player has the potential to make a huge impact in Vic Fangio’s defense this season. 2019 Broncos roster review: Edge Bradley ChubbPhoto by Robert Reiners/Getty ImagesIn the NFL, it’s about improvement. Regardless of what you accomplished in the most recent season, the expectation is you always get better. That’s why the cliche, “What have you done for me lately?” reappears year after year. And no one is immune from it.Bradley Chubb finished with 12 sacks, 2.5 shy of the NFL rookie record held by Jevon Kearse (14.5). Had the Denver Broncos finished with a better record, he would have been in serious talk for Defensive Rookie of the Year. The Orange Rush (the hoodie is now just $20) of Chubb and Von Miller flashed the dominance Broncos Country hoped to see when Denver drafted Chubb with the No. 5 pick. It wasn’t as consistent as the Broncos would like, but we could see the potential.Enter Vic Fangio. There is potential we could soon witness something very historic and special. The duo of Chubb and Miller in Fangio’s defense should get you excited at the damage it will create. Bradley Chubb ProfileHeight: 6-4Weight: 269 poundsAge: 22 Experience: 2nd seasonThe Good For a rookie to come in and make his presence felt as Chubb did is rare. He put up one of the best pass-rushing seasons by a rookie the NFL has seen in quite a while. It doesn’t get much better than that.Then you see what he told Orange and Blue 760 in May. Despite Chubb’s confusion Bradley Roby Color Rush Jersey , for the season (on top of his 12 sacks), he finished with 60 tackles, 41 solo, 14 for loss, 21 quarterback hits, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. The Bad As Chubb noted, there were times he looked and played like a rookie. He also needs to get better in run defense and coverage. In other words, Chubb needs to take the next steps to become a complete edge. No doubt he can get after the quarterback Von Miller Jersey , but if he can show improvement in both of those areas, he’ll make the defense that much better and more difficult to slow down. That’s where Fangio and his system come into the fold. Of course, it also helps to play with the best edge in the NFL in Miller. Quotable Speaking of which, here is Fangio on Chubb: Roster Status There is no question Chubb will play a vital role in the success of the Broncos defense in 2019. If he does show that improvement, the Orange Rush has the chance to set records and make history (it also means fans need to get this awesome hoodie while it’s at a great price) It also means the defense will see a return to dominance.
