Southern Illinois safety Jeremy Chinn is a player who is very intriguing to fans of the Denver Broncos, and has been mocked to the team numerous times.

Chinn is a reliable tackler, and that is something that Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio views as a necessity when it comes to his defense. Chinn recorded 243 total tackles in college. A whopping 185 of those tackles were solo. All by himself.

Chinn ran the 40-yard dash at a very nice 4.45-seconds. His size, 6’3”, 221 pounds allows him to move smoothly and be a good cover player. This could bode well for the Denver Broncos, who have had a ton of trouble of covering opposing tight ends in the past.

The days of allowing tight ends to dominate the defense maybe would come to and end if the Denver Broncos selected Jeremy Chinn.
