No. 4 – David Bruton
Enforced Penalties: 5
Resulting Yards: 47
Snaps: 250
Penalties Per 100 Snaps: 2.00
Surprisingly, the longest-tenured Bronco and special teams captain is also one of the team’s most-penalized players this year.
David Bruton has earned an expanded role in Wade Phillips’ defense this season, seeing significant rotation work – especially in passing situations. Unfortunately, he’s also seeing more flags flying in his direction as well.
Bruton has amassed five penalties on five different infractions for a total of 47 yards on the year. He’s been bailed out once by an offsetting penalty.
The charges against Bruton include: Illegal contact (2), roughing the passer, unsportsmanlike conduct, holding and pass interference.
Like Miller, most Broncos fans will trade the good for the bad with Bruton, who’s played well in his expanded role.
