Derek Wolfe is a do it all for the Denver Broncos and Von Miller thinks he is a lot like Dirk Nowitzki. Wolfe might not get as much attention as some of the other players on the Broncos defense, but he is still taking on double teams and getting after the quarterback
“What Dirk did for the Dallas Mavericks early in his career, and still now, he is still the greatest,” Miller once explained via The Athletic. “Some of the stuff that he does, for his team, that’s what Derek does for us. He’s a big man. He can take on more than one guy. He’s able to make plays. He’s able to shoot the three, that’s the sack for us. He’s able to get sacks and he plays the run. That’s solid paint-work right there. He’s our big man. It’s like Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash.”
Wolfe is excited to work under Vic Fangio and thinks that he will be able to even improve his game, something Nowitzki constantly did during his career.
Wolfe is entering the final year of his contract and has made it clear he wants to stay in Denver, but it's unclear if the two sides are close on reaching any type of agreement.
It might be Wolfe's best bet to wait until after the season and test free agency because another big year is going to mean even more money being thrown Wolfe's way. Earning that money is going to start with how well he performs in 2019,
