During the team period in the red zone, Riley Moss broke up Love’s pass to wideout Dontayvion Wicks.
Riley Moss and Brandon Jones of the Denver Broncos works out during practice at Broncos Park in Englewood, Colorado on Friday, Aug. 16, 2024. The two-minute period of the Broncos’ joint practice with the Green Bay Packers featured a flawless effort from the secondary.
Against a talented Packers wide receivers group and Love — a rising star in the league — Denver’s secondary, which had a ton of question marks heading into training camp, stole the show on Friday, playing with physicality and air-tight coverage throughout the morning. “I’d say the one thing that does exceptionally well is he phases the receivers,” head coach Sean Payton said. “So you don’t see him out of position. He’s longer than you think, so the ball is contested if it’s caught.”
Nickel cornerback Ja’Quan McMillian gave the Packers problems. Love tried to complete a pass near the goal line, but McMillian blanketed the intended target and smacked the ball away. Despite McMillian standing just 5-foot-10, he wasn’t afraid to cover Packers wide receiver Christian Watson on a go route and disrupt Love’s deep pass attempt near the sideline.
There was a lot to like from Denver’s secondary on Friday. The group plays with a special kind of edge and is willing to get in an opponent’s face to make a stop. Sure, some of the guys are unproven, but maybe that could play to their advantage.
