The Broncos are certain that Surtain is the right man to replace Darby.
They just need Pat to be Surtain.
“What does it mean to you to be named team captain?” Justin Simmons was asked that question Monday, and the emotion in his voice detailed the depth of the honor for the sixth-year safety.
Vic Fangio said "there really is no perfect position to put" on tight ends.
"You'd like a DB that has size. Or a linebacker that has some DB movement qualities."
Hello Patrick Surtain.
By Tuesday afternoon, George Paton and Vic Fangio must narrow down the Broncos' roster from 80 players to the final 53.
Here's who is projected to make the final roster.
Teddy Bridgewater, not Drew Lock, had the highest highs and the lowest lows during Wednesday’s practice.
With the QB competition potentially coming to an end soon, did the rollercoaster day help or hurt Teddy’s quest to becoming the starter?
A "great opportunity" fell in Justin Strnad's lap at the beginning of training camp.
The athletic inside linebacker has taken advantage of it.
Drew Lock was electric to start Sunday's scrimmage.
Not only did he have the pass of training camp, he commanded two touchdown drives early.
Lock needed a strong day on Sunday. He delivered.
The past few practices, Drew Lock’s lost the “gunslinger” to his game, while Teddy Bridgewater has tried to shake being “Mr. Checkdown.”
Both of those were very clear during Friday’s practice.
"If he’s on the ground making acrobatic catches, if he’s stumbling and going to the ground, it’s honestly building confidence for him. He’s going to continue to trust his knee more and that’s exciting for us," Teddy Bridgewater said of Courtland Sutton.
Teddy Bridgewater & Drew Lock had nearly identical practices on Wednesday.
Both started practice with 20-yard completions.
Both were efficient.
Both ended practice with red-zone INTs.
But there was one difference that tipped the scales.
Optimism reigns, even when coming off of a fourth consecutive losing season. And Jerry Jeudy is a huge reason why.
When quarterbacks look Ronald Darby's way, it's hard for them to complete a pass. But when they do complete a pass, it can be a big-time play.
Here’s what to expect from the $10 million cornerback this year.
One could not stifle a groan after seeing the first pass play of the initial team period of the Broncos' 2021 organized team activities.
During the first week of Denver Broncos OTAs, it's been hard not to notice Patrick Surtain II.
Literally.
George Paton isn't just trusting his talent evaluators with his high-upside picks. He's trusting the entire Broncos organization to tap into the immense talent that he's bringing to Denver in 2021.
George Paton is off and running as the Broncos' new GM.
All in all, Paton and the Broncos dropped over $150 million in contracts in the first few weeks of the NFL's new league year.
But what's been the best move of the offseason so far?
For a third-straight year, the Broncos and Vic Fangio will have arguably the best safety duo in the league.
But that doesn't mean George Paton won't address the position in the draft. Here's when they could target safety.
Justin Simmons spoke with George Paton in January. When the conversation concluded, Simmons thought, "I can't wait. Whatever it's going to take, I'm going to be here."
Hardball. That was the name of the negotiations game during John Elway's tenure as general manager.
But there's a new general manager in town. With a new philosophy.
With the salary cap expected to drop to roughly $180 million, NFL teams will be looking to save cap space everywhere they can.
Here are the players George Paton and the Broncos could move on from this offseason to open up cap space.
