Could the third-year pro emerge as a surprise starter for the Denver Broncos?" Denver Broncos Roster2019 Broncos roster review: Linebacker Joseph JonesNew https://www.broncosfanstore.com/Andy-Janovich-Jersey ,9commentsCould the third-year pro emerge as a surprise starter for the Denver Broncos?MDTIt was just this time last year that Jones was locked in a fierce battle to make the Broncos roster behind Todd Davis and Brandon Marshall. With a new coaching staff, he’s at it again, though this time he appears to be the top dog behind Josey Jewell and Davis entering Vic Fangio’s first training camp. Jones has had one of the more interesting, roundabout journeys to the Broncos. He’s already been a member of four different teams after he didn’t hear his name during the 2017 NFL Draft. He originally signed with the Dallas Cowboys, but was waived his first September with the team. Two days later, he signed with the Los Angeles Chargers practice squad for two days before they released him. A little over two weeks after that, he signed with the Seattle Seahawks practice squad to make it three different uniforms in his first September in the NFL.After two months on the Seahawks practice squad, the Vance Joseph Broncos signed him to replace linebacker Kevin Snyder. He played 159 special teams snaps across the last 7 games of the season. He more than doubled that number in 2018, threw in 25 defensive snaps, and finished the year with 16 tackles and a punt block. Jones with the 2018 Broncos’ most exciting special teams play. The goodVery good athlete for the position.Extensive special teams experience.Good in space. Solid in man coverage.He definitely brings the physical measurements you’d hope for from a Fangio linebacker. His 40 yard dash time, 3-Cone, Vertical Jump, and Short Shuttle all come in above the 50th percentile for the measurable baselines of most NFL teams. He was also a special teams standout last year Matt Paradis Color Rush Jersey , which matters a great deal with only 46 suiting up on game days. The other thing he brings to the table players like Josh Watson, Joe Dineen, Alexander Johnson, and Justin Hollins don’t is real snaps on defense in the league. To get a better idea of what he could bring to the table behind Jewell and Davis, I took a long look at his one game on defense in the NFL. Jones’ first NFL snap on defense.It didn’t take long for a few things to stand out about his performance against the Bengals. First, it appears he’s fully capable of reading his keys and getting to the ball. There was one snap on the second series where he over-pursued outside zone, but he did a solid job of holding up as the second backer in base personnel after Josey Jewell left the game with an injury. He does seem to bring the same range to D that he shows on special teams, as well. Jones’ ability to change direction as well as open up and run caught my eye.One other area where Jones showed flashes of real promise that should carry over into 2019 is his ability to mirror his assignment in coverage. I was skeptical of that part of his game, as it’s something he didn’t show in his special teams work, but he came through in a big way on C.J. Uzomah. On the snaps Jones had to cover, he looked like a natural. The badVery limited experience on defense. His ability to hold up at the POA is a question.Dealt with injuries in 2018 training camp.Light weight, shorter arms. For all of his good to great pre-draft measurables, there are a couple that don’t help Jones. He’s undersized for an inside backer at a shade under 6 feet and 240 lbs. Additionally Carlos Henderson Jersey , his arm length is on the shorter side for a starting inside backer (25th percentile). All those issues aren’t as noticeable on special teams where Jones has a running start and a chance to slip most blocks, but if he’s forced to play defense for an extended period of time, it could cause him problems at both the point of attack and when trying to separate from blockers who can get their hands onto his frame. It didn’t appear to be a noticeable issue in the Bengals game, but Jones played 24 total snaps. For context, I normally study at least 3 games before I come to any sort of real conclusion on a player and usually closer to 5 at minimum. 24 snaps is a very small sample size and the Broncos coaching staff took him off the field for anything outside of the base personnel package. Sua Cravens, Will Parks, or Shane Ray came in for him on passing downs. So it’s hard to know with real certainty if what I saw is indicative of what he could do with more playing time, or just flashes of brilliance.Joseph Jones roster status with the BroncosBased upon his special teams play, his athletic ability, and what looks like real promise as a rangier alternative to the current expected starters, Jones has a good chance to stick to the Broncos roster. Even if it’s only minicamp, it’s notable that he served as the starting linebacker when Todd Davis missed practice for the birth of his son at the beginning of June. He’s a dark horse contender for Jewell’s starting spot, and my bet for the number 1 backer off the bench https://www.broncosfanstore.com/Ronald-Leary-Jersey , at least until Justin Hollins comes on.Don’t sleep on Jones. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Vic Fangio Era began in Denver without one of the Broncos‘ best defenders and a potential contract standoff looming.“Yeah, I won’t be there,” cornerback Chris Harris Jr. texted The Associated Press before the Broncos became the fourth team to start their offseason program.Entering the final season of a five-year, $42.5 million deal he signed in 2015, Harris is due $7.8 million in 2019, after which he’d become an unrestricted free agent.One of the NFL’s most versatile defensive backs, Harris first raised the prospect of a stare-down with general manager John Elway four months ago after the Broncos missed out on the playoffs for the third consecutive year.“It’s late in my career and I can’t waste any years anymore,” said Harris, who turns 30 in June. “It’s time for me to win. I always wanted to retire here and finish my career here, but I’m ready to see what changes and things we do.”Those changes included Vance Joseph’s firing and safety Darian Stewart’s release, which left Harris as the last remaining original member of the “No Fly Zone” defense that helped the Broncos win Super Bowl 50.Elway, who signed two defensive backs in free agency Royce Freeman Color Rush Jersey , has said he would like to work out a new deal with Harris after the draft later this month.Elway signed cornerbacks Bryce Callahan (three years, $21 million) and Kareem Jackson (three years, $33 million) in free agency last month. Jackson’s deal includes salaries of $11 million in 2020 and $10 million in 2021, and he turns 31 this month.Jackson was the best cornerback on the market, and pairing him with Harris gives Fangio enviable flexibility in coverage as both cornerbacks can line up in the slot, on the outside or even at safety.With mandatory veteran minicamp two months from now and the start of training camp more than 100 days away, Harris’ absence Tuesday didn’t raise many eyebrows.“I mean, it’s optional, right?” said linebacker Von Miller , who skipped the Broncos’ offseason program following his Super Bowl MVP performance three years ago during a contract stalemate. “We all know what type of pro Chris is on and off the football field, and he’s going to be ready to go whenever he’s here. And if he’s not here, he’ll still be ready to go.“We’re talking about ‘Strap’ Harris. So, he can be on Mars and he’s still going to be ‘Strap’ Harris Brandon Marshall Jersey ,” added Miller. “He’s going through whatever he’s going through right now and I support him 100 percent. But when it’s time to go, he’s going to be ready to go. This is his ninth year coming up and whatever he has to do to get ready, I’m for it.”Harris is coming off a stellar 2018 season despite missing the last month with a broken right leg.The only NFL player with multiple interceptions in each of the past seven seasons, Harris picked off three passes, returning one for a touchdown, and broke up 10 passes in a dozen games last season before getting hurt at Cincinnati on Dec. 2.The Broncos lost each of their last four games during Harris’ absence. He returned a month later to play in his fourth Pro Bowl, intercepting a pass in the AFC’s 26-7 victory.
