In the National Football League, having an arsenal of pass rushers is crucial for success on the defensive side of the ball. This year, the Denver Broncos added to their room by drafting Utah Ute standout Jonah Ellis in the third-round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
His father Luther Ellis, a ten-year NFL veteran, played for one season with the franchise in 2004. It’s not often that franchises have father-son duos, but the Elliss family now is etched in team history with that respect. And while the shadow of his father’s legacy looms large, the first-year player is excited to start blazing his own path and making a name for himself across the league.
