Broncos roster review: JL Skinner
AP Photo/Steve Conner Drafted in the 6th round of this year’s draft, JL Skinner looks to show why he was considered one of the better defensive back prospects in the draft, and why he should have been drafted higher.
It didn’t take long for the San Diego native to see action on the collegiate field, starting 14 games as a true freshman for the Boise State Broncos in 2019. He would finish the year with 14 tackles and three passed breakups. He would make his big jump in the 2021 season as he earned Mountain West 2nd-team All-Conference honors after racking up 92 tackles (seven for loss), two interceptions, three pass breakups, and two forced fumbles.
