Dre’Mont Jones has more than earned an upcoming extension

Before the season started, I named Dre’Mont Jones as the Denver Broncos’ Breakout Player of the Year. Jones was a talented prospect coming out of that 2019 NFL Draft, and many analysts thought he could have been a first-round pick with his gifts. He took several steps forward in 2020 that had me excited about his future.

Lo and behold, he’s making me look smarter and smarter every week. He’s continued to get better as time goes on, and oftentimes, he’s Denver’s only pass-rusher. For an interior rusher who has been double-teamed on well over half of his reps, he’s routinely disruptive and has strung together big play after big play throughout every game.
