JL Skinner relished the chance to be a role model.
The Broncos rookie safety grew up going to the Boys & Girls Club in Southern California. He credits a lot of his development as a kid to the hours, days and weeks he spent there after school and in the summers.
So in June, he jumped at the opportunity to join other rookies for a day trip to the Denver Broncos Boys & Girls Club.
“It felt like going back home for a little bit,” Skinner said.
Given his history, Skinner had a sense that he and the other Broncos youngsters would be the highlight of the day, probably the week, for the kids there.
