You probably don't have his jersey hanging in your closet, but Denver Broncos safety Devon Key is quietly one of the most important players on the team.

Especially during the 2025 season, Key took a huge step forward in his role with the Denver Broncos on special teams. The NFL changed its kickoff rules once again, meaning more kickoff returns and the need for guys to stop the opposing kick returner.

That's exactly what Key has been for the Broncos this season. Almost every kickoff return for the opposing team this season, you can see either number 26 or number 34 coming into your frame.
