The Broncos de Denver made a big free agent movement by adding the security Talanoa Hufanga in March, a year after bringing Brandon Jones. In two years, the Broncos have completely reorganized their security room, and after a pro-Bowl-Alternat season, Jones is appreciated in the League.
Professional football focus‘Jonathon Macri He identified the most underestimated player on each team and appointed Jones for the Broncos. Jones had an excellent first year with broncos, so it is not surprising to hear it mentioned as a little sleeper. He still has not quite the recognition he should.
“2024 was a massive season for Jones, who signed a three -year free agent contract with the broncos during the offseason, although he did not play more than 644 defensive snaps in one year while treating several injuries,” wrote Macri. “Jones has not only proven the Broncos to sign it, but he also exceeded expectations in finishing as one of the five best classified security (84.8) and on the cover (89.8) in 2024. 2025.”
Jones was able to play at the level he made despite the fact that it was almost twice more clichés than his career in 2024. What makes him even better is that throughout his career, he had trouble when he obtained more clichés, which led to concerns about his ability to be a full -time starter in defense. He looked comfortable in Joseph’s defense and found a house.
While we are entering the 2025 season, the concern is that broncos can make things happen with Jones with the signature of Hufanga. Jones prospered in 2024 as high security. He was actually among the best players when he worked as high security.
The concern is that Jones played this role on a limited basis due to the problems of the broncos with PJ Locke. But with Hufanga, Jones as a single security will be almost a full -time role. The question is: can Jones manage it full time?
The speed and the range of Jones are a little questionable, but he has shown the awareness of compensating it. When you discuss high security, especially in the coverage system 3 that Joseph uses mainly, you need this range and this speed to cover the ground.
Hufanga can do things of two peaks, but it is not built for a single summit. This raises another concern with Jones.
With Locke, there was a certain uncertainty about the place where he was going to line up, which sometimes threw opposing quarters, but with Hufanga, it is probably much simpler. Will this lack of confusion harm defense overall, or will Jones and Hufanga have an answer to confuse the pre-SNAP opponents?
These concerns can be implemented, for the most part, because broncos have a cheating code: Patrick Superain II. When you have a player as well as supervising, who can erase one side of the field, what you ask for unique security is much less. Thus, all speed and range concerns surrounding Jones are not as pressing.
Although Hufanga does not have the skills to be unique security, it can be two summits security. With supervision, unique security essentially plays a security role of two tops. The Broncos have shown a desire to allow to be supervised to work on your field side and buy security to help the opposite corner.
Everything addresses to help make Jones an underestimated player, but if he was not in a secondary with supervision, it could be another story. Jones can still capitalize on the elite player who is supervised, but he may not be able to continue to fly so low under the radar.
