The Broncos have yet to play a preseason game and this is already a night-and-day difference training camp for inside linebacker Josey Jewell.
Last year: A rookie backup behind veteran Brandon Marshall. … A base-package player when he was on the field. … A core special teams player.
This year: A starter now that Marshall is in Oakland. … An every-down player in coach Vic Fangio’s defense. … A spectator during special teams practice drills.
Playing for a head coach in Vic Fangio who will call the defensive plays and is a renowned developer of linebackers, Jewell has a golden opportunity.
