Josey jewell

Very solid play. Much respect for "The Outlaw" by the Denver media.

He's definitely getting some great media coverage and is developing a fan following. I was at the game vs. Oakland. Jewell blew a coverage pretty bad early in the game.....but didn't get yanked.....they kept rotating him in and he played well the rest of the game....which tells me the coaching staff is relying on him, not just testing him. Has adapted to the speed of the pro game and stands his own when contacted. I was surrounded by Broncos fans and (not knowing I'm an Iowan- it was a business group of Denver folks in a suite) Jewell came up fairly frequently in a very positive light.

Is this the kid who played middle linebacker for the Hawkeyes last year? :confused:

Same kid, right?
 
Josey also plays special teams in addition to the snaps he gets with the first team defense. He is quickly becoming a valuable player for the Broncos.
 
Here’s a good article on jewell for those interested...

“His football IQ is above average and therefore he’s at least able to get lined up better and more consistently than most rookies,” linebackers coach Reggie Herring said of Jewell, a fourth-round selection this past April. “You then add his intangibles as an individual: He plays hard, he’s physical, he has a lot of personal pride, he hates to lose, he has excellent football instincts and he’s fast enough. Add all of that and you’ve got a guy, as a football coach, that you enjoy developing and being around.”
