Broncos' Jared Crick: Could be elevated to starter
Jared Crick might be the first man up to replace starter Vance Walker - who is out for the year with a torn ACL, the Denver Broncos' official site reports.Crick was drafted during the Gary Kubiak/Wade Phillips regime while they were all in Houston - so the familiarity is there. While neither coach's tenure lasted long enough to see Crick become a starter, defensive line coach Bill Kollar did coach Crick during his first year as a starter in 2014. Crick accumulated 104 tackles and 5.5 sacks in his last two years in Houston and his understanding of the defense could prove invaluable in stepping in and replacing Walker.
