Broncos' Elliss to Inside Linebacker, Miller Return Teased

On April 1st, the Denver Broncos are buzzing with potential after a 14-win juggernaut season

driven by their elite defense and solid lines.

Coach Sean Payton dropped a hint Tuesday that outside linebacker Jonah Ellis will mix

in snaps at inside linebacker, which could shake up the edge.

Rushroom Big Time

This move makes sense for the 23-year-old Ellis, whose brothers Caden and Christian both play

inside in the league and his athletic scores.

Fit the spot perfectly.

With Nick Bonito, Jonathan Cooper, Kay Robinson, and Andrea Tillman already holding down

edge duties, shifting Ellis inside might just create an end.

Extra slot.

Fans are lit up over the idea of this opening a door for franchise legend, Vaughn Miller,

to return in 2026.

Miller balled out last year with the Washington commanders, grabbing nine sacks, six tackles

for loss, and 15 quarterback hits in 37 percent of snaps.

The Broncos' edge group stays top five even without Ellis, but adding a vet like Miller,

who doesn't play special teams, but still rushes like a beast feels like poetic justice

after his Super Bowl heroics here.

Payton's call keeps the defense menacing while teasing that full circle reunion, setting

up what could be the most electric edge rotation in the AFC.
