Denver Broncos offensive lineman Dalton Risner took to Twitter on Tuesday to share an impressive video of him pushing a sled weighing 1,500 pounds. Risner is training at TopSpeed Strength and Conditioning in Overland Park, Kansas.
Risner (6-5, 312 pounds) impressed the Broncos at the Senior Bowl last year and was then selected by Denver in the second round of the 2019 NFL draft. A native of Wiggins, Colorado, Risner played college football at Kansas State before joining the Broncos’ offensive line.
As a rookie, Risner started all 16 games and was penalized just three times. After allowing 2.5 sacks, he was named to the PFWA All-Rookie Team.
Risner has quickly emerged as one of Denver’s best offensive linemen and he appears poised to remain a key piece on offense for years to come. Though the Broncos didn’t reach the playoffs last season, the team didn’t finish the year with four wins in their final five games, giving them momentum for 2020.
“[That] fired us up to have a great year next year,” Risner said Dec. 29.
