With NFL facilities closed down due to COVID-19, the Broncos — and every other team — have turned to online meetings and video workouts in the place of in-person offseason programs.
Denver’s virtual meetings have gone so well that safety Kareem Jackson suggested the team should use them every offseason.
“I usually get up at about 6:15,” Jackson said during a Zoom conference call with reporters on Tuesday. “I work out at about 7:15-7:30. I’m usually back home in enough time to jump on meetings. I think the virtual meetings have been going pretty good. We’ve been able to get things done as if we were in meetings.
“I actually told the coaches, I said I think for the first two phases of OTAs we should do this that way everybody can stay home and do whatever we need to do. Then come in and we just practice in Phase 3 and minicamp. It’s been going pretty good. I think it’s been very productive for us.”
Jackson has been working out one-on-one with a trainer in Houston so he’ll be ready to go whenever teams are allowed to open their facilities again. The Broncos remain hopeful that training camp will start on time in July.
