-Key Denver Broncos have high praise for their new quarterback:
Wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders, per Mike Klis of 9News: “He’s a great leader. Every day, the majority of the days, he’ll come in and ask me and D.T. [Demaryius Thomas] to go and watch practices and we’ll sit in the back room and watch film and go over what he’s thinking and what we’re thinking. I’ve been a part of two Super Bowl teams, and that’s what it takes. That extra work that’s not mandatory, where guys are in there working out or working on their mental game. That right there, when it’s the fourth quarter or when it’s 4th-and-5 or 3rd-and-8, that’s the stuff that gets you over the hill.”
Cornerback Chris Harris, per the same source: “He wants it. It’s good when you have a quarterback that’s hungry. Just like any other player out there on the field, he wants it. He wants to be the best. He wants to prove to Minnesota, ‘You all should have never let me go.’ He’s hungry out there, I like that chip that he has on his shoulder, and it’s good to have a quarterback that really wants it and really wants to be the best.”
