Denver Broncos informal passing camp in LA cancelled

After generating some excitement on Tuesday, Denver Broncos players apparently called off their informal passing camp in LA…

Select players on the Denver Broncos will not be holding an informal passing camp in Los Angeles anymore, despite revving up some excitement from the fans on Tuesday.

All of the players involved were apparently unable (or unwilling) to make the passing camp work with their respective schedules, which at this point in the offseason is a bit confusing but nonetheless understandable.

NFL players are pretty much constantly working on their craft, whether they are together in one place or not.

Still, after hearing how Von Miller gathered some of the best pass rushers in the NFL for his recent pass rush summit, it seems as though the Broncos’ offensive side of the ball is lacking a bit in the area of a true leader.

Peyton Manning, despite his potentially over-the-top demands for perfection from those around him, was a leader that commanded the respect of his teammates. It wasn’t likely for anyone to turn down an invitation to his passing camp at Duke in the offseason, because they wanted Manning to throw them the ball and trust them.

Where is that kind of leadership now?

Last offseason, it came from Mark Sanchez, who didn’t even end up making the team. But he at least took the initiative. What about Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch?

Maybe those guys feel like one organizing a camp indicates they feel like they have an edge, which is why it made sense for Demaryius Thomas to put it together, but then no one followed through and made it happen.

I suppose there’s no reason to overreact to this news, as the players will gather here at camp in a couple of weeks, but it is a bit disappointing and at least at surface level, nothing is resolved as far as who is leading this Broncos’ offense.
