The Denver Broncos have Jonah Elliss officially in the fold.
have reportedly signed third-round rush linebacker Jonah Elliss, leaving fourth-round wideout Troy Franklin as the only unsigned member of the team's 2024 NFL draft class."The Broncos have agreed to terms on a rookie contract with third-round pick OLB Jonah Elliss, per source," Kosmider wrote on X.
Elliss hails from the University of Utah, following in the footsteps of his father, Luther, a former first-round draft pick and two-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman. Jonah brings an elite motor to the table, combined with a few nice athletic tools to pressure the quarterback. In 10 games last year for the Utes, Elliss totaled 12 sacks and 37 tackles, 16 of which were for a loss, plus a forced fumble, and three pass break-ups. He took some major steps in his final year at Utah, and that never-say-die motor resulted in some serious production.
When the Broncos went on the clock at No. 76 overall, there were a few great options still on the board. But as head coach Sean Payton illustrated after the draft, none took precedence over Elliss and what he could offer the young Broncos defense.With rookie minicamp happening over this past weekend, Elliss is doing his best to assimilate into the Broncos' locker room. But he's liked what he's seen so far..
The Broncos are expected to make relatively short work of getting Franklin under contract. Once the former Oregon star signs, all seven draft picks will officially be Broncos.Chad Jensen is the Founder of Mile High Huddle and creator of the wildly popular Mile High Huddle Podcast.
