As a huge fan of the Denver Broncos, I felt this was the most fitting article for my first news comment of the semester. This specific article, from Patrik Walker, lists his bold predictions for the Denver Broncos this season. Without further ado, lets dive a little more into his article!

1. Drew Lock throws for 4,000 yards and 25 touchdowns.

While I would love for this to happen, I think this is out of the realm of possibilities for second year quarterback, Drew Lock. After being placed on IR for the first part of the season, Lock came in to a beaten down Bronco team, winning four of their last five games. Additionally he threw for over 1,000 yards, 7 touchdowns, and brought a completely new energy to the Bronco squad. I love Drew Lock and what he has done with the Broncos so far, but asking for those numbers is a lot to expect from a second year QB that hasn’t even finished a full season yet.

2. Von Miller reaches career-high marks in sacks

I love this prediction and would completely agree with it, if not for the fact that former number 5 overall pick Bradley Chubb will be on the opposite side of Miller this season. I disagree with those that doubt Von Miller because of his age (31) because I still think he has a tremendous amount of fire in him. While he only totaled 8 sacks last year, he still found different ways to make his presence known. I think that Von Miller will have a great year, but I also think that Bradley Chubb will either match or have a better year than Miller.

3. Bradley Chubb gets 15 sacks, Pro Bowl nod

This is a bold prediction that I will firmly stand behind. After tearing his ACL last season, Chubb looks to take the field in week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. While the team suffered from his absence last year, I don’t think it was a total loss. Chubb gained expert advice from 8 time pro bowler Von Miller all season. This year is going to be a fierce competition between Chubb and Miller for sacks and I think Chubb will come out on top.
