We sawPeyton Manningthrow a beautiful over the shoulder pass toEmmanuel Sanderswho burned cornerbackTony Carteron 1-on-1 coverage. Can’t say enough about the addition of Sanders who will be filling in for now New York Jet,Eric Decker. Sanders speed will prove beneficial on the opposite site of Demaryius Thomas; not to mention all the other weapons the Broncos offense possesses.
Manning would also connect with slot receiverWes Welkerover the top, just out of the reach of cornerback/safetyOmar Bolden. There has been talk that this could possibly be Welker’s last season as a member of the Denver Broncos with the signing of Emmauel Sanders and the second round selection of Cody Latimer. The Broncos have depth at the wide receiver position this year in case Welker goes down with another concussion.
Oh yeah,DeMarcus Waresure looks good in a Denver Broncos uniform. He andVon Millerhave become the best of friends as it seems as they were side-by-side during the teams stretching routine. Ware’s goal is for the Broncos to have the number one offense and the number one defense.
Maybe the highlight of the day was Broncos back-up quarterbackBrock Osweilerhitting rookie Cody Latimer on a deep route for a touchdown, burning first-round pick Bradley Roby who was on the coverage. Latimer talked with the media afterwards and said his foot felt 100%.
Broncos cornerbackChris Harrisexpects to visit with Dr. James Andrews Monday morning and could possibly be cleared to do individual reps like Von Miller is doing right now.
Day one of Denver Broncos training camp is in the books as we look forward to day two.
