Denver, CO – July 28, 2025
Training camp in Denver is full of noise and promise, but one player is fighting harder than most to make sure he’s heard. Despite a breakout year, this safety is still battling for recognition.
For the Broncos’ secondary, every roster spot is precious. While others grab headlines, this veteran’s relentless energy and production remain largely unsung outside the locker room. Coaches, though, know exactly what they have.
Returning from a 2024 campaign with 85 tackles and two interceptions, he has quietly become a foundation of Denver’s defense. Still, playing in the shadows, his impact rarely gets the spotlight it deserves.
Reflecting on the lack of attention, Brandon Jones spoke with unmistakable fire. “This is the hungriest I’ve ever been — not because anyone forgot me, but because I’ve worked too hard to be overlooked. Watch me earn it: every snap, every hit, every special teams rep — I’m going to make you believe in this defense.”
Analysts and teammates see the difference every day. Jones’s physicality and focus are impossible to miss in camp. PFF recently named him the most underrated Bronco heading into the 2025 season.
What sets Jones apart is his versatility: he excels both in coverage and run support, often matching up against tight ends or crashing down to stop the run. His leadership on special teams only raises his value in a crowded depth chart.
Veterans in Denver have taken notice. They praise his preparation, intensity, and willingness to do the dirty work that championship defenses require. He’s become a tone-setter and an example for the younger players around him.
As camp intensifies, Jones’s vow to earn every inch resonates in the meeting rooms and on the field. His journey proves that in Denver, being overlooked only fuels a bigger fire — and this season, he’s ready to prove exactly why he should never be ignored.
