Anderson Eyes Third Safety Spot | Denver News

The Broncos just added Tycen Anderson, a former Bengals fifth-rounder with zero starts but elite special teams play, to fill the void left by departed starter P.J. Locke. With only four safeties on the roster, Anderson joins Devon Key, draft picks JL Skinner and Miles Scott, and rookie Parker Robertson in a fierce competition for the third safety spot — a critical role in Denver’s defensive scheme. Coach Sean Payton is watching closely, while special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi praises Anderson’s maturity and football IQ, despite early injury setbacks. Anderson’s signing acts as a safety net: if Key dominates defense, Anderson can anchor special teams. With Skinner also proving his worth, the Broncos face a tough roster decision as summer workouts begin.
