Lorenzo Doss could intercept a roster spot

Don't eliminate Lorenzo Doss from your 53-man rosters quite yet.

• Doss was projected to be a 4th-5th rounder in the 2015 draft--Denver took him in the fifth, where he played behind Talib, Harris, and Roby.  In 2016, that secondary was the best in the NFL.
• He ran a 4.47 at the combine.  He is 5'10" and 24, fwiw.
• He had 15 interceptions in college in 3 years. 
• At the Broncos camp last year, he was awesome.  One reporter tweeted during a scrimmage with SF, " Another pick 6 for Lorenzo Doss! That's 9 picks in camp so far. "

So far, he has been a ball hawk in Carolina.  Today was the third straight OTA with an interception. 

Q:  SO WHY  DID THE BRONCOS CUT DOSS LAST YEAR ON THANKSGIVING DAY?

A:  He missed a meeting on Thanksgiving day before practice.  It was not his first missed meeting.  Denver was 3-9 and Elway wanted to send the team a message. 

It just seems that this DB understands how to get interceptions because he gets them whenever he is on a football field.  Buried on the bench of the best secondary in the NFL in Denver (aided by one of the best pass rushes in the NFL), expect Doss to fight Corn, Captain, and Seymour for a spot on the roster.  We could use a ball hawk in the secondary. 

I have been saying this for a while--the CBs on this roster are young, improving, and could be a real factor.  They are not going to be the Achilles' heel many believe.  Just watch.

Keep him over Seymour if anyone.

Intriguing.

Lol keep him over Seymour? I would say Captain with no hesitation.

interesting to see if he can show up in pre-season.

We have soooooo many young corners.  At least 1 or 2 that can play are going to get cut.  Unless we keep like 8.  That's 8 corners not 8 db's.

He's gotta have a solid camp.

Hope he has learned to show up for meetings.

This is my first thought--a post Jun 1 cut...save some money.

Problem is cutting Captain doesn't really save much and he's definitely our best nickel on the roster. And no Jackson is not a nickel. With no TD first 4 weeks we'll be running a ton of nickel CB and we need Captain for that.

If Hurney could somehow trade Munnerlyn.......

 

I would never talk poo about him as a GM ever again.  Browns, Colts, and 9ers still have 40+ million. Surely something can be worked out.

Nice find. Someone under the radar to root for.

I hope we give him a chance. Hopefully catching the ax for missing meetings in Denver woke him up on that front. We really need playmakers in our secondary.
