Grading The Week: Broncos’ midseason MVP? These scouts say it’s safety Brandon Jones

Miss Justin Simmons?

The kids on the Grading The Week staff sure do, but the Broncos don’t. Not according to Pro Football Focus, at least.

With the Broncos having already won more games (five) in eight weeks than many in the NFL thought they’d win in 18, the statniks on Team GTW scoured the popular scouting and analytics site, known colloquially as “PFF,” for some clues as to why.

Speaking of grades, PFF scouts grade NFL players on a 100-point scale. And with the regular season’s midpoint approaching, the member of the orange and blue with the highest mark to date is Simmons’ replacement — veteran safety Brandon Jones.
