• Broncos' John Franklin-Myers: Career-high 7.0 sacks in 2024

  Rotowire Jan 22, 2025

  Franklin-Myers finished the 2024 regular season with 40 tackles (18 solo), including 7.0 sacks, across 17 games.

Franklin-Myers, Zach Allen, Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper will look to replicate their success in the 2025 campaign.
