Denver Broncos rookies who aren’t participating in the White House festivities are getting active in the community of Denver on Monday…
DENVER–While the Denver Broncos have a big day Monday in visiting the White House to have U.S. President Barack Obama congratulate them for winning Super Bowl 50 with a 24-10 win over the Carolina Panthers, both drafted and undrafted rookies have stayed behind to assist in the community.
Per a report from KMGH-TV Channel 7’s (the Denver Channel), Jason Greunauer, prized first-round draft pick, quarterback Paxton Lynch and his fellow rookies are helping those in need in the Denver metro area Monday.
Among the activities Lynch and his teammates engaged in were visiting the Bonfils Blood Center, while Greunauer reported on Lynch listening attentively to a blood donation recipient during the center’s “Be a Champion in the Community” presentation.
Furthermore, the rookies gathered at the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Denver for a pizza party while they were also due to visit a food bank and a local shelter to provide some warmth to match the temperatures outside which were expected to reach the mid 80’s by Monday afternoon in the Denver metro area.
Additionally, the University of Colorado’s Health Center tweeted out that the Broncos’ rookies had made their way to their hospitals to spread joy to patients. While there, per Broncos Corporate Communications Manager, Rebecca Villanueva, the rookies executed “off-field teamwork drills” while dressed in gowns that nurses at hospitals usually wear.
In any event, these rookies, through their various experiences, learned the value of serving others. This is an essential component of being successful on the field as of all the professional sports in existence, gridiron football is arguably the one where participants have to serve others and be selfless teammates in order to excel.
