Jewell finished his college career with more than 433 tackles including 28 tackles for loss and 10 sacks. In 2017 Jewell had 132 total tackles with 13.5 for loss.
He's likely to play both special teams for the Broncos and serve as a backup linebacker for Todd Davis and Brandon Marshall. Jewell fills the hole left behind by Corey Nelson's free agency departure to Philadelphia.
CBS Sports describes him as a "tackling machine."
Shortly afterwards the Broncos selected wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton in the 4th Round with pick No. 113.
