The Denver Broncos are gearing up for the 2025 season with a significant shift in strategy for linebacker Drew Sanders, who will transition to the inside linebacker position. Coach Sean Payton indicated that the team is pursuing a more defined role for Sanders after he initially bounced between outside and inside linebacker. The addition of Dre Greenlaw during free agency solidifies one starting position, while the other is likely to be contested between Alex Singleton, who is recovering from an ACL injury, and Sanders. General Manager George Paton expressed confidence in Sanders' potential to be a starter, underscoring the importance of competition within the roster.

With a third-round draft investment in 2023, the Broncos have high expectations for Sanders to potentially experience a breakout season. The upcoming competition will intensify as training camp approaches, promising an engaging battle for the starting spots at linebacker.
