Denver Broncos tight end Justin Joly showcased his toughness by scoring a touchdown while injured during a game at NC State. A viral clip of his acrobatic catch and limping run has drawn comparisons to a famous play by Greg Jennings.
Mentioned in this story
New Denver Broncos tight end Justin Joly is one tough football player. An old clip of Joly resurfaced of him gutting out a touchdown while injured during his time at NC State last fall.
Joly made an acrobatic over-the-shoulder catch on a double pass against the Pittsburgh Panthers, before running down the sideline towards the end zone.
Around Pitt's 25-yard line, Joly started to come up lame, limping on one leg with the ball in tow. Joly continued towards the end zone, before finally crossing the goal line with a Panther hot on his heels. Joly scored, despite the apparent injury.
Joly's effort play was reminiscent of a famous Madden clip of then-Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings scoring a similar touchdown, but on a "broken leg." Check out the 16-year-old clip from YouTuber Demetry James below.

Joly, a fifth-round pick from the 2026 NFL draft, looks to bring that kind of toughness to the NFL. Joly will join other Broncos rookies at minicamp next month, looking to make a memorable impression on the Denver coaching staff.
