Playmakers shine at OTAs

As the Broncos opened up OTAs, the story quickly became centered around the team’s young playmakers.

Specifically, rookie receivers Courtland Sutton and DaeSean Hamilton along with second-year tight end Jake Butt were catching everyone’s attention.

Pun fully intended.

These guys were drawing rave reviews from their teammates and coaches, raising expectations for the offense in 2018.

The Broncos have lacked playmakers that could help take some pressure off of Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, but perhaps those days are long gone.

The combination of Butt, Sutton, and Hamilton should provide the Broncos with a major jolt in 2018. Those guys have great size, hands, a professional approach to their craft, and the ability to go make plays on the ball.
