Broncos Tried Out Safety at Kicker
The Denver Broncos tried out a safety at kicker while Will Lutz was celebrating Drew Brees making the Hall of Fame.
The Denver Broncos have explored the possibility of Brandon Jones serving as an emergency kicker for the regular season should Wil Lutz be unable to perform due to injury during a game. Jones, who has no prior experience in field goals, attempted four field goals during a practice session on Saturday, managing to make three of them, including two consecutive attempts from 35 yards.
Jones, known more for his tackling abilities, recorded 78 tackles, 0.5 sacks, and one interception last season while playing for the Broncos. Although he admitted to feeling nervous when the crowd at practice started chanting his name, Jones believes the situation would only arise in a high-pressure game scenario, where he would rely on the support of the team.
