Luther Elliss let fans in on how the Denver Broncos' phone call to Jonah landed on Draft Day.
back in 2004, while also serving as the team chaplain. A native of Manco, CO, Elliss played at the University of Utah where he would go on to become a first-round pick in the NFL draft.
As Tomasson writes, Luther and Jonah Elliss are only the second father-son duo in Broncos history, joining former linebacker Tom Graham, who played for Denver in the early '70s, and tight end Daniel Graham, whom fans will remember from the early 2010s. Luther can appreciate that rarefied real estate he and his son now co-own in Broncos canon.
"He just told me how great of a culture, how great of a fanbase, and how it was really a family vibe out there," Jonah said via conference call on April 26." Honestly the culture is something that he mentioned a lot and how it’s a really good bond out there.” Browning only appeared in nine games due to an offseason surgery, but he still contributed 4.5 sacks. The Broncos got solid, if unspectacular, production out of their rush linebackers. The biggest missing component was consistency.
Browning started out on the inside as a 2021 third-rounder. He was moved to the edge in Year 2, where he's seemed to thrive , so there is a recent precedent for success in terms of Sanders' outlook. However, the Broncos also fiddled with 2017 second-rounder DeMarcus Walker's position early on, moving him from the edge to the D-line and back again, which hindered his development.
