Denver Broncos: Alijah Holder getting a shot at safety

The Denver Broncos have suffered more misfortune this year on the defensive side of the ball than many NFL teams, but misfortune always paves the way for opportunity for someone.

With Kareem Jackson's unfortunate and disappointing decision (and now suspension) comes opportunity for young defensive back Alijah Holder, a cornerback by trade who could be switching positions from cornerback (which he played in college) to safety.

Holder was playing some safety in Broncos training camp and preseason action as well as lining up at outside corner, but the fact that he's being bumped up with Jackson getting suspended seems to indicate to me that the Broncos plan on using him in a safety role.
