Broncos news: Video of players practicing has finally surfaced.
Pat Shurmur noted in a recent press conference that rumors had been swirling of his players getting together for workouts on their own, and the follow-up rumor he was hearing was that they were going well.
The Broncos are obviously in a tough situation just like every other NFL team with the fact that they can’t gather together for OTAs this year, but having so many go-getters on the roster has paid off tremendously.
I would be lying if I said I wasn’t checking Instagram and Instagram stories every day to see if any Broncos player posted a video of these rumored workouts, but someone finally went ahead and did the detective work themselves.
Yes, #Broncos are getting work done. Courtesy of Facebook friend Trevor Heaton, @DrewLock23, @I_CU_boy, @Dalton_Risner66 and @JawuanJames70 among those getting in reps. The self-motivation of offense to improve is encouraging and noteworthy. #Denver7 pic.twitter.com/ycdZ2xUB4M

There’s nothing much to see in this video, aside from the fact that a number of Broncos players have taken it upon themselves to get together and get some live reps in new offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur’s offense.
Shurmur is not there to coach them up in person, but you have to wonder if these guys have some cameras set up out there to send Shurmur some film or something if they’re already willing to get together in the first place.
So who is in attendance at these get-togethers?
I'm told Drew Lock and a number of Broncos players are going full offense, running through the playbook on their own away from the facility. Courtland Sutton, KJ Hamler, Ja'Wuan James, Dalton Risner among them. Phillip Lindsay is a regular. Jerry Jeudy joined them last weekend.

In the video Troy Renck tweeted out, you can definitely see Drew Lock and Dalton Risner. The other quarterback throwing with them is presumably backup Jeff Driskel or Brett Rypien.
It’s a little bit difficult to tell who all the other linemen or receivers are since their faces are never really zoomed in on, but it’s been confirmed that Noah Fant, Courtland Sutton, KJ Hamler, and even Jerry Jeudy have been in attendance.
Again, this video isn’t much, but it shows that this young Denver Broncos team is really taking initiative. They are showing character, as Predominantly Orange staff writer Nicholas Manning pointed out.
This kind of thing is one of many reasons the Broncos fan base is so excited for the 2020 season.
