Growing locker room morale
If you’re not following a lot of Broncos players on Instagram, it’s a great way to get daily access not only to these players’ lives but also to the way they interact with each other in the locker room.
One particular interaction that’s been a ton of fun to watch develop through the lens of social media is the relationship between wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders and safety Su’a Cravens.
Cravens has already proven himself to be the most interesting player to follow on social media, but the basketball fandom rivalry between these two (Golden State and Houston) is creating some hilarious exchanges. This one from Cravens, in particular, was hilarious.
Sanders did a live video on his Instagram page from his car walking all the way into the team locker room, where he started talking smack to Cravens after the Rockets’ big win in game two over the Warriors.
This kind of stuff is surface level evidence (but evidence, regardless) that things in the locker room are vastly improved from a year ago.
The Broncos have seemed tense in the locker room since Peyton Manning left, and perhaps some reassurance from the quarterback position and Case Keenum have helped in that regard.
Whatever the case, I would love to continue to see morale in the Broncos’ locker room improve. The tighter these guys are off the field, the better I think they will be on it.
