Broncos’ Jerry Jeudy meets with coach Hackett upon release from jail

DENVER — Shortly after he was released from the Arapahoe County Jail on Friday morning, Broncos receiver Jerry Jeudy headed to the team’s facility to meet with coach Nathaniel Hackett.

Jeudy was arrested Thursday and spent the night in custody, charged with a misdemeanor second-degree tampering charge that included a domestic violence enhancer. The police report said Jeudy did not make any “physical contact” with his significant other, who asked the court to dismiss the case.

Even if the case doesn’t proceed and Jeudy doesn’t face legal or league discipline, Hackett was asked if he was disappointed in Jeudy’s judgment (or lack thereof).

“I’ve had an opportunity to talk to Jerry and we’re going to move forward from this, we’re going to learn from it as a team and that’s what it’s all about — there is adversity and it’s how we respond from that adversity,” Hackett said. “That’s so important. Things happen and you just have to learn from them.”

Hackett said “without a doubt” the Broncos have those resources in place.

Hackett and the Broncos welcomed their draft class, undrafted free-agent signings and 11 tryout players to town for rookie camp. Asked if Jeudy’s situation was used as a cautionary example to the new players, Hackett said, “We typically have the things we’ll say — people we want everybody to reach out to. The key is, we’re in this together as a team and as a team, we need to have the right resources so everybody is comfortable with those.”
