Broncos' New Safety: A Special Teams Ace's Defensive Shot
16 Jul
Summary
- Anderson, a former Bengals player, joins Denver as a free agent.
- He is a proven special teams ace expected to bolster unit.
- Anderson will compete for a depth safety role on defense.
Tycen Anderson, originally drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2022, has signed with the Denver Broncos as an unrestricted free agent. During his four seasons with the Bengals, Anderson established himself as a key special teams player, contributing significantly to the unit. His rookie season was impacted by injury, but he bounced back to play in 41 games, recording 42 tackles and one pass deflection.
As a Bronco, Anderson is set to enhance an already strong special teams unit, partnering with All-Pro Devon Key. Beyond his special teams contributions, Anderson has an opportunity to compete for a defensive role at safety. With the departure of P.J. Locke, the Broncos are seeking depth at the position. Anderson faces competition from players like Miles Scott and JL Skinner for this potential role.
