George Paton just signed another key piece to the Denver Broncos’ rookie class, and this time it’s at the safety position. The Denver Broncos signed their rookie safety Jamar Johnson to a rookie contract worth up to $3.79 million. The fifth-round selection will receive a little over $300,000 in a nice signing bonus.
When George Paton was on the clock in the fifth round, he was looking for potential talent to help in the backfield. More specifically, he needed insurance at safety.
