Malcolm Roach earns praise from Denver Broncos teammates and coaches

Denver Broncos defensive end Malcolm Roach has received significant recognition from teammates and coaching staff following his performance during training camp. Left tackle Garett Bolles described Roach as a difficult player to block due to his agility and ability to penetrate the line of scrimmage. Head coach Sean Payton added that Roach displays high football intelligence and an infectious energy that benefits the defensive unit. The team signed the veteran player to help address the vacancy left by the departure of John Franklin-Myers. Denver aims to strengthen its defensive front as it pursues the franchise's goal of breaking the NFL single-season sack record. The team will open its regular season schedule against the Kansas City Chiefs on September 14.
