He was seen as a bit of an athletic freak who could get to the quarterback, but would need refinement to his game at the NFL level.Who better to help him hone in his skills than Vic Fangio and his staff who are themselves coming off coaching the best defense in the NFL last season. Justin Hollins ProfileHeight: 6-5 | Weight: 248 pounds | 40-time: 4.50 secondsArm length: 33 3/8” | Hands: 10 3/8”Bench press: 25 reps | Vertical jump: 36 1/2” | Broad jump: 119 inches20 Yard shuttle: 4.40 seconds | 3-Cone drill: 7.06 secondsJustin Hollins was a steady contributor with the Oregon Ducks, expanding his role on defense each season. He added to his sack total each year and had a way of jarring the ball loose forcing five fumbles in his senior season. As a fifth round pick, he’ll have an inside bead on a roster spot behind Von Miller and Bradley Chubb, but Fangio has also been pressing Hollins to learn the insider linebacker positions as well. Second-year linebacker Josey Jewell was asked about Hollins’ transition inside and have nothing but good things to say about that.“He seems to be doing great so far just being able to transition from the nickel packages and then in base [defense] going back to outside linebacker,” Jewel said. “It would be pretty tough, I think. You just have to be able to go home and study a little bit—maybe an hour a day or more—and just be able to understand the different types of concepts you’re trying to learn with different packages.”However, his athletic talent does seem to be a natural fit at the edge position.The goodAs we noted in our pre-draft profile on Hollins, his measurables are intriguing to say the least. If he can hone his natural athletic ability into superior technique, then the Broncos may have found themselves quite the steal in the fifth round.He has all of the tools, so now its on him and the coaches to figure out how to use them effectively at the NFL level. The badFor now, any situation involving stopping the run could expose Hollins. He’ll need - and is likely already getting - to be coached up to improve his game against the run. However, with Miller and Chubb entrenched as starters, this shouldn’t be a huge concern early on. It will be interesting to see how well he transitions inside, because that could be how Hollins finds a more regular role on this defense in the future. QuotableHollins has taken his shift inside in stride, seeing it more as a opportunity than a drawback.“It’s really just being able to see more [at inside linebacker],” Hollins said of how playing inside is different than playing outside. “There’s a lot more going on that you have to be involved with than outside. Outside is more just [an] on-the-edge type of thing. Inside you have to know where two, three [people are], you have to see where the back is. You have to know what the guard does on the snap of the ball. You have to key people. There’s just a lot more going on on the inside than there is on the outside.” Justin Hollins highlightsJustin Hollins’ roster status with the BroncosIn my opinion, Hollins will be a lock to make the 53-man roster this season. Most draft picks do. The only way I see this changing is if he has a terrible training camp and just isn’t cutting it at the NFL level.So far, through rookie minicamp and OTAs, the response to Hollins has been positive. It looks like he is doing the things he needs to do to compete and earn that roster spot. That was what Joseph Yun of Addicted to Quack felt Hollins would when he was guest on our Something Something Broncos podcast after the draft. Hollins was a hard worker in college and has carried that work ethic into the NFL. That makes me think he’ll stick around on that final 53-man. With the bye week in the middle of the season John Elway Jersey White , it feels like a good time to catch our collective breaths and assess where things stand, Broncos’ Country. This week we’ve looked at the biggest surprises, disappointments, as well as weigh in on if it’s time to tank.One thing we haven’t discussed is John Elway’s job status. At 3-6, the Broncos need to go 5-2 or better over the remaining seven games to avoid the first back-to-back-to-back losing seasons since the 1970s. As GM, Elway has taken a lot of heat for some of his bigger gaffes in the national media. So I thought it a good time to ask Mile High Report:Should Elway be on the hot seat?Taylor Kothe: Hot seat? No, not really. It’s warm, certainly, but Elway’s in no danger of losing his job this offseason. Not after two quality drafts back-to-back and making what looks like a smart coaching hire in Vic Fangio. Turnover at GM too often leads to turnover at HC, and the organization needs stability now more than change. That, and until and unless a new owner takes the reins, I doubt that there’s any serious organizational will to remove the most legendary member and longtime public face of the Broncos. Scotty Payne: Yes. Four losing seasons in a row? Multiple failed quarterbacks? His draft history is iffy at best...I mean any other GM with his recent track record would likely be fired or have a scalding hot seat. His popularity and fame in Denver obviously make him immune to such things. Also, the lack of an owner keeps him pretty safe. Doubt Ellis has the stones to make a major move like that.Adam Malnati: Should Elway be on the hot seat? Probably. Is he? Nope. With no ownership accountability, the seat warmers can’t even be turned on, let alone get hot.Jeff Essary: If you only look at the result with no context, then yes. However, I’ve been saying all season that we’re in the middle of the rebuild everyone has been yelling for. The key criticisms people have had of Elway, he has gotten better or is getting better at.To me, the moves in the last two years have been all about trying to fix what happened in 2016 and 2017, and we’re still recovering from that and bad drafting even before that.So in my mind, it doesn’t make sense to can Elway for attempting to fix the mess that, yes he created. But it really hasn’t been that long a time since the Super Bowl Womens Royce Freeman Jersey , and if you look at it in those two, 2-year chunks, the 18/19 Elway has been much improved over the previous years, so I’m not sure what people are expecting a new GM to come in and magically fix.The last piece is obviously QB. Like Scotty mentioned, it’s all about the QB. However, I don’t fault Elway for not finding a franchise QB in four years. . It’s the hardest position in all of sports to find. While Flacco and Keenum were failures, aside from throwing $30 million a year on a fully guaranteed contract at Cousins, there hasn’t been much available, and at least Elway has shown the ability to quickly move on from mistakes at the QB position, as opposed to teams who stick with bad draft picks and then even pay them high-dollar second contracts to be mediocre. (See Andy Dalton, Derek Carr, Mitch Trubisky, etc).At the end of the day, Elway is responsible for the failings of this team and why they’re in their current state, however, if you’re of the opinion (as I am) that this team is trending in the right direction and things are looking up, then you have to give Elway credit for that too and for cleaning up his mess.Ian St. Clair: As Cecil Lammey told Adam Malnati and me on the state of the franchise podcast, if and when Elway hits on a quarterback, everyone will forget the last three years. Until that happens, some in Broncos Country will continue to sing the “fire Elway” chorus.
