Shaquil Barrett
In the 2015 season, Barrett looked like he was going to be the next great pass rusher in Denver. Playing a limited number of snaps, Barrett was a threat on every play to get to the quarterback and disrupt the opposing offense. He made 50 tackles, and 5.5 sacks and helped the Broncos make their Super Bowl 50 run.
Barrett took a step back last season. He compiled only 36 tackles, and had just 1.5 sacks. Maybe Barrett was underused, or maybe offensive fronts learned how to limit his production, but Barrett was largely invisible in 2016.
Final grade: D
