Kareem Jackson ‘very confident’ in Broncos’ defense

“I think for us, the sky is the limit,” Broncos safety Kareem Jackson said.

The Broncos’ defense ranked 10th in points allowed last season (19.8 points per game). After adding some key contributors this offseason, Denver’s defense might be even better in 2020.

“I’m very confident in our group,” safety Kareem Jackson said during a Zoom conference call on May 5. “I think we had a great group last year. The addition of some of the guys that we added — A.J. Bouye, Jurrell [Casey] — and obviously getting [Bradley] Chubb back also, those are great pickups for us.

Like I said, [with] getting Chubb back — I think for us, the sky is the limit. We just have to be willing to go out and put the work in. We just have to be able to go out and play as a cohesive unit and execute every time we’re out there.”

Broncos coach Vic Fangio, a defensive guru, is entering his second season in charge. Denver’s players should have more familiarity with Fangio’s scheme now and that might lead to the Broncos’ defense looking even better this season.
