Following the death of George Floyd, Broncos safety Kareem Jackson is considering organizing a march with Denver teammates.
“It’s kind of hard now because we’ve got guys all over the place,” Jackson said. “Maybe it’s something with just the guys in Denver or we kind of extend the invite to whatever guys can make in back time and also it’s still kind of hard with COVID going on. I think it may be a thing where we need to get out and we need to maybe put together our own march, like I said, so that these kids and everybody in these communities can actually see us and see we’re there to help them.
“We’re there and we’re all on the same page with them. A lot of times, it can kind of feel like we’re not connected to what’s going on in the real world. I know a lot of people may think that, but at the same time we’re affected as well. I think it may be a thing where we need to get out and maybe try to put together a march here in the next couple weeks just to let everybody know we’re impacted by this as well and we’re there to support whomever we need to support. We definitely want to be there every step of the way with them.”
Broncos players are not expected to report back to the team’s facility until training camp so if Jackson wants to have most of his teammates join him for the march, he might have to wait until late July.
