Episode Details

The Denver Broncos are transforming third-round pick Jonah Elliss from an edge rusher to an off-ball linebacker, starting in 2026. With big contracts for Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper on the edge, Elliss will rotate with them. Coach Sean Payton compares Elliss to versatile players like Kaden Elliss and Zack Baun. Nik Bonitto supports the move, predicting Elliss will make plays no matter the spot. The Broncos can ease Elliss into the role with Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad returning at linebacker. This move could unlock Ellisss long-term potential, but the Broncos should still consider drafting more linebackers in this deep class.
