A look at possible special teams contributors for the Broncos
In light of the moves today (particularly the Bibbs over Hillman move), I thought I’d take a stab at projecting who the Broncos special teams contributors might be this year. I’ve never coached or played organized 11-11 football, so I’m probably not the most qualified to look into this niche topic. But I’m armed with special teams snap counts from Pro Football Reference and going to give it a shot.
