The Denver Broncos’ coaches loved what they saw from guard Dalton Risner last season and they have big expectations for him in 2020. Denver’s staff believes Risner could be an all-star player for the next decade, according to NFL Network’s James Palmer.
“They believe as a rookie last year [he] was their best offensive lineman,” Palmer said on NFL Network last week. “So in Year 2, they’re expecting a big jump. They think he’ll be a 10-time Pro Bowler.”
After being selected by the Broncos in the second round of last year’s draft, Risner went on earn a spot on the PFWA’s All-Rookie Team. Risner started all 16 games for Denver last season and was penalized three times and allowed 2.5 sacks, according to STATS LLC.
Those are pretty good totals for the Kansas State product — numbers that he will look to build on in his second season as a starter in the NFL.
