Jett Modkins grew up around football. His father, Curtis, the Broncos’ running backs coach, brought him into winning post-game locker rooms. He was a constant at NFL training camp practices. And he went on to play in high school and junior college.
But as a Broncos coaching intern last year, Jett saw the entire picture. The hours. The relationships. The details. And a new view of his father during offensive meetings.
“There are certain people that get in front of a group of men and they have a way about them that commands the room and he had a presence,” Jett said in a phone interview with The Denver Post.
