tough, versatile Colorado linebacker with steady special-teams value
Bryan Stengel profiles as a reliable inside linebacker for Colorado, with a physical 6-foot-2, 220-pound frame and a history of contributing on defense and special teams. In the 2009 season, he appeared in 10 games, made one start, and totaled 9 tackles despite missing two games with a mild injury, which hints at a player coaches trusted when healthy. His edge is versatility and gritty, assignment-sound play more than flashy production. If you want a steady, hard-nosed linebacker who can handle multiple roles and bring veteran presence, he’s the kind of fit that quietly helps a defense.
