Baron Browning started nine games at inside linebacker as a rookie last season out of necessity after the team lost a pair of starters to season-ending injuries.
To a fan’s eye, it seemed that Browning played relatively well, making him a presumed starting ILB candidate for 2022. When the Broncos opted to not select any ILBs in the draft, that made it seem even more certain that Browning would start at ILB this season.
