Posts 74 stops in 2024 Locke recorded 74 total tackles (50 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two passes defended and one forced fumble over 15 regular-season games in 2024.

Impact Locke's tackle total rose for the fifth consecutive season in 2024, tallying 21 more stops than he did in 2023. However, considering that Texas product played 425 more defensive snaps but recorded fewer passes defended, interceptions, and forced fumbles this season compared to last, he likely left more to be desired from the Broncos. Locke is expected to remain in Denver in 2025, having signed a two-year, $7 million extension with the team last offseason. He'll likely have the opportunity to compete for one the Broncos' starting safety spots again throughout the offseason.
