The Denver Broncos<\/a> met with Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at the NFL combine last month, the defensive back confirmed during his media availability in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n “It went great,” McNeil-Warren said of the meeting, via the Denver Gazette’s Chris Tomasson<\/a>. “I love the Broncos<\/a>. I love their coaching staff. Everything went great.”<\/p>\n McNeil-Warren (6-3, 201 pounds) ran a 40-yard dash in 4.52 seconds and a 10-yard split in 1.58 seconds at the combine. He earned first-team All-MAC honors and second-team All-American recognition after totaling 77 tackles, five pass breakups, three forced fumbles, two interceptions (one pick-six) and two fumble recoveries in 13 games with the Rockets last fall.<\/p>\n The Athletic’s Dane Brugler<\/a>, NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks<\/a>, Mel Kiper<\/a> and Jordan Reid<\/a> of ESPN, and Luca Evans<\/a> of the Denver Post all have the Broncos selecting McNeil-Warren with the 30th overall pick in this year’s NFL draft.<\/p>\n Broncos safety Brandon Jones has one year remaining<\/a> on his contract and Talanoa Hufanga has two years left<\/a>. Safety is not an extremely pressing need in Denver, but if the team believes McNeil-Warren might be the best option available, he’ll be a name to watch in next month’s draft.<\/p>\n Need a news break?
