Former Alabama and current Denver Broncos’ linebacker Que Robinson looks like he will have an opportunity to earn more playing time during the 2026-2027 NFL season.

Robinson did not play much as a rookie in the 2025 football season. However, he still managed to finish the season with 1.5 sacks. His first full sack came against the Patriots in the NFL playoffs.

The Broncos’ defensive coordinator Vance Joseph feels Robinson looked like a future starter in his limited play time last season, and he sees the Birmingham, Alabama native having a bigger impact soon.

“When Que played he played really well and looked like a guy that can be a future starter for us,” Joseph recently told reporters. “So, it’s our job to keep improving with Que and get him more reps … When he dressed, he played well for Coach (Darren) Rizzi, and for me. Obviously, it’s a year later, and he’s ready for the next step as far as playing more defensive snaps and more team snaps.”

The Broncos are expected to be one of the best teams in the league during the upcoming season.
