Broncos coach Vic Fangio demands that his defenders are good tacklers so it’s no surprise that new cornerback A.J. Bouye excels in that area.
During his time with the Texans and Jaguars, Bouye totaled 315 tackles and 14 interceptions. He is projected to be one of Denver’s starting outside cornerbacks this season and plans to make a big impact.
“I’m a physical corner,” Boyue said during a conference call with reporters on March 18. “You know I’ll come up and tackle. I’m always good in the run game. I feel like what makes me my best is just my instincts.
“I study the game. I study all the time. It’s just a lot of concepts that fascinate me. I know I can make plays in the right situations. That’s one thing I feel like, especially on the outside, I can do.”
Bouye flys around the secondary and has broken up 66 passes in his career. He should be an excellent fit in the Broncos’ defense.
