Denver Broncos player no. 3: Bryce Callahan, CB
Let me first say, I think Bryce Callahan did an awesome job for the Denver Broncos when he was healthy.
Unfortunately, those times were too few and far between.
Callahan had come to the Denver Broncos in 2019 with injury concerns, concerns that unfortunately translated to him missing the entire 2019 season after an aggravated foot injury in training camp.
Broncos fans never got to see what a defense that included both Callahan and Chris Harris Jr. could do together.
In the 2020 season, Callahan mostly stayed healthy and played some of the best football of his career, which was great to see considering he had to play a lot of outside corner that year due to injuries.
In 2021, he again played just 11 games and didn’t have an interception.
The Broncos opted for veteran K’Waun Williams this offseason instead of trying to re-sign Callahan, who ended up signing a very team-friendly deal with the Los Angeles Chargers.
Again, when this guy is healthy, he’s a stud. Unfortunately, it’s just too unpredictable whether or not he will be on the field and the Broncos made the right call not risking that instability for their secondary in 2022.
Injuries can always happen to anyone, of course. That’s the unfortunate reality of this game. In the case of Callahan, however, the risk feels a bit more than the average.
