In addition to meeting with Ohio State’s Sonny Styles and Georgia’s CJ Allen, the Denver Broncos also met with at least nine other linebackers at the NFL combine last month.
Styles is expected to be off the board well before the Broncos go on the clock at pick No. 30, a spot where Allen could land. The list of LBs who met with Denver also includes second-round prospects Jake Golday and Jacob Rodriguez, as well as third-round candidate Josiah Trotter.
The Broncos also met with mid-round prospects Harold Perkins and Bryce Boettcher, and late-round candidates Owen Heinicke, Jack Kelly, Scooby Williams and Wade Woodaz.

This year’s draft class is deep at linebacker, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see Denver begin planning ahead at the position. The 2026 NFL draft will be held in Pittsburgh from April 23-25. After receiving two compensatory picks, Denver will hold nine selections this spring.
