There was a direct correlation between the Broncos’ rush defense and losing games last year. When allowing at least 100 yards rushing, they were 2-8 and ended up 15th in the NFL with a 111.3-yard average.Jones, who played his first six seasons with San Francisco, signed his three-year, $30 million contract with the Broncos on Wednesday to replace Shelby Harris, who was sent to Seattle in the Russell Wilson trade.
Among Jones’ career-best 56 tackles last year, 34 were in the run game as he was able to use his 6-foot, 305-pound frame to shed blocks and his athleticism, including a swim move, to reach the backfield. The journey for Jones, 27, included two years apiece at East Mississippi Community College and Ole Miss and five years for the 49ers as a sixth-round draft pick. He started only four games in his first two years, but all 42 of his appearances from 2019-21.
Looking at his parents and wife during an introductory news conference Thursday at the Broncos’ facility, Jones said: “It’s been a journey. I’ve had ups and downs as we’ve all had to get to where I am now. It’s a blessing.”“D.J. is a player, early on, that we identified that could be an impactful player on our defensive interior playing the nose, playing the three and getting him matched up on centers and getting him matched up on guards,” defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero said.
Said Jones: “I like to attack the ball wherever it is. That was something instilled in me from an early age and has stuck with me forever. I just like to make plays all over the field.”
