Last season, Broncos outside linebacker Bradley Chubb appeared poised to have a big year playing under coach Vic Fangio and defensive coordinator Ed Donatell. Four games into the season, Chubb suffered an ACL injury that prematurely ended his year.
Before the injury, Chubb was a great fit in the team’s 3-4 defense.
“He fit in very well,” Donatell said during a Zoom conference call with reporters on June 11. “He’s just good in all areas. He’s such a solid, consistent person in all areas of his life. He’s just got a lot of skill and ability.
“[He] is a Bronco that’s going to be a great Bronco for a long time — we just didn’t get to see enough of it last year because of the injury. We’ve seen him running on tape, and he’s full speed and ready to go. You’ll see a really good year from him.”
When he played in all 16 games as a rookie in 2018, Chubb totaled 59 tackles and 12 sacks as a starter across from Von Miller. Chubb will start again this season and he will look to improve his career total of 13 sacks.
