The Denver Broncos boosted their defense in the free agency by signing Talanoa Hufanga and Dre Greenlaw last week. They also added tight end Evan Engram and wide receiver Trent Sherfield as offensive weapons, showing serious intent to challenge for major honors next season.
Denver's reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Patrick Surtain II, also lauded the new arrivals. In an interview with "The Sports Daily," Surtain, who signed a four-year, $96 million extension with the Broncos last year, explained how the team wanted to address its missing pieces of the puzzle this offseason.
"That’s just adding on to the success that we already had and that we already built,” Surtain said. “I like where we are going. I feel like the direction is right in front of us and we control our own destiny.

"I’m excited that we added those additions because it was much needed and it was much warranted I could say as well too. Last year we had a great team as well too, but adding those pieces is like the cherry on top."
