Dalton Risner, LG, Denver Broncos

Dalton Risner might have a future in acting when he’s done with what appears to be at least a decade-long football career.

Why do I say that?

Risner is probably one of the kindest dudes you will ever talk to off the field. His small town roots paired with an old school work ethic shine through and the dude has released multiple children’s books.

Seriously.

But what Risner does on the football field is less of a nighttime story and more of the things defensive players see in their nightmares on Saturday nights before playing against this guy.

And because you can’t listen to it enough (it is probably the best podcast we have at NFL Mocks), here’s an interview with Dalton Risner. I promise you will come away loving this dude.

Risner has been flat out bullying defensive players in the run game and in pass pro. He has been impressive from day one for the Broncos.

Believe it or not, Risner was the 10th offensive lineman selected in the 2019 NFL Draft. It won’t be long before teams are regretting passing on him.
