Episode Details

JL Skinner, the Broncos’ sixth-round rookie safety, is proving he belongs on the field with relentless work ethic and standout training camp performances. Despite missing spring with a shoulder injury, he returned stronger, earning his spot as the first safety off the bench after another key player left in free agency. With elite athleticism and a big frame often overlooked, Skinner’s consistency and preparation have impressed defensive coordinator Vance Joseph. Though he’s mostly played special teams and backup roles, his 21 tackles and two fumble recoveries over 33 games show his impact. As Denver builds depth behind its top safeties, Skinner’s rise signals a defense primed for a strong season — especially on pass coverage — thanks to his hustle, resilience, and undeniable growth.
