Zoltan Buday of Pro Football Focus recently compiled a list of the top 32 safeties in the NFL heading into the 2025 season. Denver Broncos safety Brandon Jones — who had a solid season in 2024 with 115 tackles, three interceptions, and ten pass deflections — made the cut. Buday ranked Jones in the top 10.
“Durability was an issue for Jones during his years with the Dolphins, but while he never topped 650 snaps with Miami, he logged 1,042 snaps in his first season with the Broncos,” Buday wrote on PFF. “He further elevated his play, too, especially in coverage. He earned an 89.8 PFF coverage grade, which ranked third among safeties, similar to his 84.8 PFF overall grade.”
While Jones didn’t nab a Pro Bowl or All-Pro last fall, his play helped boost the Broncos back to the playoffs for the first time since their Super Bowl season in 2015. Jones will look to build off of a great 2024 season going into 2025.
