Broncos’ Dre Greenlaw Shines in Full-Pad Camp, Secures Starting Inside Linebacker Role

Back on form after an Achilles tear, Greenlaw’s forceful tackling has convinced Sean Payton to install him as Denver’s inside linebacker

Overview

  • Greenlaw has stood out in full-pad drills at Broncos Park, delivering low-pad, knockback hits that show no lingering effects from last season’s injury
  • Coach Sean Payton likened his impact play to a heavyweight punch by saying Greenlaw "plays like Mike Tyson," emphasizing his physical presence
  • After recovering from a torn Achilles suffered in Super Bowl LVIII, Greenlaw signed a three-year deal worth up to $35 million in March
  • Denver plans to start Greenlaw alongside Alex Singleton to reinforce a middle that opponents exploited late last season
  • General manager George Paton called Greenlaw a key piece in his vision to strengthen all three levels of the Broncos’ defense
