After the Broncos landed its franchise quarterback, they addressed the defense on Day 2 of the NFL draft.
Utah defensive end Jonah Elliss celebrates a fumble recovery against Arizona during the first half of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Nov. 5, 2022, in Salt Lake City. Luther Elliss earned consensus All-American honors as a senior at Utah in 1994 while helping lead his team to its first 10-win season in school history. Jonah Elliss has thrived under his father’s tutelage. He leads the Pac-12 with 10.0 sacks and 83 sack yards.
Elliss played in 35 career games at Utah, totaling 78 tackles and 16 sacks — tied for seventh-most for a season in program history. In 2023, he collected 37 tackles , 12 sacks and three passes defended in 10 games before missing the rest of the season due to a shoulder injury that kept him from working out at the NFL scouting combine in February.
Elliss will be added to Denver’s young edge rusher group that consists of Nik Bonitto, Baron Browning and Jonathon Cooper. Drew Sanders is a wild card, as the team is debating whether to keep him as an inside linebacker or transition him to full-time edge rusher.
