Dondrea Tillman

Tillman gives Denver real rotation juice, not just a body to spell the starters. He has already contributed sacks and can keep offenses honest across the full edge group.

Strengths: Pass-rush contribution, rotation energy, big-game experience and depth value.

Weaknesses: Less complete body of work than the starters and a limited route to high-volume snaps.

Tillman has been one of Denver's more fun development stories. He arrived from the UFL, posted two sacks in his NFL debut and then followed with a 2025 season that included four sacks and two picks. A six fits a legitimate rotational playmaker. The next question is whether he can keep expanding the run-game and coverage details that turn flashes into a full starter's workload.

Strengths: He brings proven pass-rush production, an active motor and surprising playmaking range for a rotational edge. Tillman has already shown he can finish sacks and create turnovers in limited opportunities.

Weaknesses: His NFL resume is still short and his role has been rotational rather than every-down. He must improve run-defense consistency and assignment reliability to earn heavier snaps against varied offensive personnel.
