Jonas Griffith isn’t for sure a starting linebacker for Denver this fall, but as he begins his second season with the Broncos, the inside linebacker forced into a starting role at the end of 2021 due to injuries, looks on paper to be the logical choice.
Baron Browning is moving to the outside to help in the edge rushing department, and without Alexander Johnson next to Josey Jewell, an athletic linebacker with experience makes for a good replacement.
But don’t ask Griffith to confirm that. He’s young - and has only been playing football since his senior year in high school - but he knows better.
