Broncos select Boise State safety JL Skinner in sixth round. Denver acquires Saints tight end Adam Trautman for sixth-rounder
ENGLEWOOD — A moment of misfortune proved lucky for the Broncos. Boise State safety JL Skinner — JL is his given name — tore his pectoral warming up on the bench press two days before the NFL Combine in February.
The Broncos executed a trade moments later, sending the 195th pick in the sixth round for Saints tight end Adam Trautman and a seventh-round pick . Trautman played three seasons in New Orleans, including two for Payton, posting career-highs in catches , yards and touchdowns in 2021. "I had a good meeting with them. I had a Zoom, and that was really the main thing. And there was some contact at the combine," Skinner said on a conference call."I'm excited to be coming to this organization. I'm very excited to get out to Denver. I'm really blessed to be in this position."
"I want to be able to consistently cover those little smaller slot guys. My strengths I see are being very versatile, very physical, and I'm somebody that knows the game very well and I use that to my advantage," Skinner said."I'd say if there is mainly anything to work on, it's covering those smaller slots."
