However, ever since suffering a knee injury with Edinburgh in RaboDirect PRO12 action against Scarlets last March, the 24-year-old concedes his offloading has needed work.
The injury ruled him out until June and while he has rediscovered fine form - having started at No.8 in Tests against Ireland and England this year - the back-row's full focus is on improvement.
"What I've learned is not to change who you are as a player," Denton told The Scotsman. "My strengths are always going to be what they are. I've got to develop my so-called weaknesses - areas that I can improve.
"But I'm always going to be a player who is in the team to get us on the front foot and carry the ball.
"I would like to open up my offloading game a bit more. It's something I did have but, unfortunately, I seem to have lost it over the last couple of months - since I came back from my injury.
"It's something I need to rediscover, because it's an important part of the game."
