Jonah Elliss Moves Inside, Shaking Up Broncos' Linebacker Corps

0:00On April 3rd, Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton dropped some news at the NFL League meeting. Third year outside linebacker Jonah Ellis is shifting inside to get snaps at inside linebacker this season. Payton says it's about matching his skills to the spot, especially with the team stacked on the edge. Payton pointed to Jonah's brother, Caden, whom he drafted before. Caden has racked up 19.5 sacks over four years as an inside-backer. It's like what happened with Zach Bond, who thrived inside after starting outside, though Philly made it work for him. Nick Bonito, one of the starters, is all in on the move. This opens doors for Kay Robinson to rotate in more as a rusher behind Bonito and Jonathan Cooper. Last year, Ellis and Andrea Tillman handled those back-up duties. On the flip side, it doesn't look great for Drew Sanders. He's been banged up, and this is his last year on the rookie deal. Might be his final shot to lock in with the Broncos at inside linebacker. Ellis gets a real chance to shine in a new role, building on family success while the defense tweaks for depth.
