AFC Notes: Raheem Mostert, Hollywood Brown, Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders

Broncos

Broncos DL D.J. Jones is excited about the team bringing in former 49ers players LB Dre Greenlaw and S Talanoa Hufanga, noting that the two players are game-changers who can make big plays on defense alongside the players already on the roster.

โ€œWeโ€™re getting game-changers,โ€Jones told the official team website. โ€œWeโ€™ve already got some game-changers. Weโ€™ve got a Zach Allen, weโ€™ve got a Pat Surtain II โ€” but now weโ€™re getting game-changers that are going to make everybody else become game-changers. What weโ€™re getting is people that know ball, play ball at a high level and all they want to do is ball. Thatโ€™s it. Theyโ€™ve got the right formula. Theyโ€™ve got the right juice about themselves. Iโ€™m so excited. Iโ€™m more excited for them than I am for this new deal. Iโ€™m not lying. I canโ€™t put it into words, so Iโ€™ll just let their actions show how I feel.โ€

โ€œWhen you have a defense that when you go from [player] 1 to 11 and you look at each name and you canโ€™t really find a weakness in what theyโ€™re doing, thatโ€™s a tough team to go against,โ€ Jones continued. โ€œThatโ€™s a tough team to go against, and thatโ€™s what weโ€™ve got right now. Right now, Iโ€™m more excited for the first day of practice than anything, so everyone can see what weโ€™ve got. I know whatโ€™s coming. Weโ€™re going to make each other better. Everybodyโ€™s going to make each other better.โ€

Chiefs

  • The Chiefs signed WR Hollywood Brown to a one-year deal worth up to $11 million earlier this month. Brown said he โ€œknew all alongโ€ he wanted to be back in Kansas City: โ€œI knew all along I wanted to come back.โ€ (Harold R. Kuntz)

Raiders

The Raiders signed veteran RB Raheem Mostert to a contract in recent weeks. He thinks his performance with the Dolphins last season โ€œwasnโ€™t up to my standardโ€ and is excited to prove his work ethic in Las Vegas. 

โ€œLast yearโ€™s performance wasnโ€™t up to my standard,โ€ Mostert said, via PFT. โ€œIโ€™m already feeling really good coming off this offseason, and Iโ€™m excited to showcase my work ethic.โ€

Mostert is focused on earning a role with the Raiders. 

โ€œIโ€™m here to just get to work. My role is whatever Iโ€™m able to create,โ€ Mostert said.

Mostert believes OC Chip Kellyโ€˜s system is tailored well to his playing style. 

โ€œItโ€™s definitely tailored to the type of run scheme that Iโ€™m used to, the kind of game I can form my game into,โ€ Mostert said. โ€œChip brought it up too, itโ€™s all similar, the verbiage is going to be different but everything is relatively the same.โ€
