As I said, the Broncos have shown interest in Risner at the Senior Bowl and are bringing the local product in for a pre-draft visit. He commented on his Senior Bowl experience and how he was able to meet with Orange and Blue 760’s Steve Atwater and how he sat down and spoke with an area scout of the Broncos. Risner was also able to speak with Broncos General Manager and quarterback legend John Elway himself. Risner called this moment a “huge milestone of mine”.

Risner is the same player on every snap with core strength, body control, and strong hands, allowing him to succeed on a relatively consistent basis. His position flexibility (started at right tackle and center) and play traits mirror those of former KSU standout Cody Whitehair. Risner will need to prove he can handle NFL edge speed, but a move inside could be a failsafe option for him.”- NFL Network’s Lance ZierleinDoes Dalton Risner make sense for the Denver Broncos?I love the fit and if he is there in the second round Joe Flacco Jersey White , he has be high on their board.Risner can step in and start at right guard or potentially even center for the Broncos. Which spot really depends on where they want to play veteran Connor McGovern. Either way, Risner would be an instant starter for the Broncos. I love his mean streak and I think he’s the type of player that Broncos offensive lineman Mike Munchak would love to add to his offensive line. His versatility alone would be valuable since he could start at three spots along the offensive line. Plus, his run blocking ability will be key considering the Broncos figure to be a run first team in 2019. I know this would be a popular addition to the Broncos and it is one I could see certainly happening for multiple reasons. The Steelers had four scoring chances on their first four drives. They scored only 10 points, with the touchdown coming on a trick play on the final play of the first half.Offensive lineman Alejandro Villanueva caught a 2-yard pass from kicker Chris Boswell as time expired in the first half to tie the Broncos 10-10.Villanueva became the first Steelers offensive lineman to catch a touchdown pass since Ray Pinney in 1983, according to Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Still, Pittsburgh should have the lead. The Steelers have run 41 plays for 251 yards.Pittsburgh reached the Denver 30 on their first drive, going 52 yards before stalling.But Justin Simmons does what Justin Simmons does: He blocked a Boswell 48-yard field goal attempt in the first quarter. Simmons leaped over long snapper Kameron Canaday to prevent the field goal. Simmons did the same thing against Justin Tucker and the Ravens earlier this season. and ended up 1 yard short as Xavier Grimble fumbled out of the end zone on a hit by Will Parks. The touchback gave Denver possession.Pittsburgh went 56 yards to the Denver 23 on its next drive before settling for a 41-yard Boswell field goal.On their final drive of the first half, the Steelers rolled down the field before Vance McDonald dropped a touchdown pass to set up a fourth-and-goal from the 2. Instead, of settling for another field goal, though, the Steelers called for the trick play.The Broncos scored their touchdown on a 10-yard pass from Case Keenum to Matt LaCosse.Ben Roethlisberger is 25-of-31 for 221 yards, the most completions by a Pittsburgh quarterback in a regular-season game since at least 1960.
