Nik Bonitto thinks adding a few pounds will help him set the edge and play stouter at the point of attack, but he also said he has been buoyed by the conversations he’s had with defensive coordinator Vance Joseph about leaning into his strengths.
In the middle of his rookie season, Nik Bonitto looked primed to break out.
But upon Denver’s return, Bradley Chubb got traded to Miami. Defenses could pay more attention to the former Oklahoma standout. The Broncos’ pass-rush dried up overall and Bonitto went without a sack and logged just eighth tackles total over the team’s final nine games despite playing substantial snaps in all but one of them.
Bonitto went into the offseason with a clear to-do list. He wanted to add a few pounds. He wanted to improve against the run. Perhaps most important, he knew he needed to become a more consistent practice player and worker.
