Josey Jewell
As stated in the introduction, Josey Jewell dealt with a “slight hamstring” according to Vance Joseph.
Jewell returned to the practice field on a limited basis Friday. He made his presence felt immediately on Saturday, day seven of camp.
Jewell is not the most athletic guy in the world, but he possesses traits of some of the best at the position.
His instincts are like those of Luke Kuechly.
On numerous occasions in Saturday’s practice, Jewell snuffed out running plays making his presence known as a run defender. This is where his true instincts and playbook memorization are paramount.

A mark of a great linebacker is proving your worth in multiple situations. Jewell is a leader by example. He lets his play speak for itself and holds others accountable as all true leaders do.
Jewell is a candidate to be on the Denver Broncos’ defense in passing downs. If Jewell furthers his development in both areas, which is not hard to do, then we are looking a starting linebacker quickly in Denver.
