Broncos sign Derek Wolfe to four-year extension
The Broncos crossed one item off their 2016 to-do list by ensuring the return of the emerging 3-technique DE.
When he was suspended four games to open the 2015 season, Derek Wolfe not only vowed that the mistake would not be repeated, but declared that he would return hungrier -- and better -- than before.
He did.
For the last 12 games, he ran roughshod through opposing offensive lines, using his power and resolve to push opposing guards and tackles backward. After three seasons of ups and downs -- some of which were exacerbated by injuries that sunk his second NFL season and detoured his progress -- Wolfe became the interior force the Broncos long believed he could be.
Improvement in 2014 has led to dominance in 2015 -- so dominant, in fact, that only four 3-4 defensive ends have higher overall ratings from profootballfocus.com since Week 5 than Wolfe, who grades out as the league's second-best run-defending 3-4 end in that span.
