Pressure for the 2020 Denver Broncos rookie class is as intense as you might expect and expectations are high. The Broncos are looking for immediate returns with a number of first-year players expected to step into starting roles. Rookie receivers Jerry Jeudy and K.J. Hamler should be able to inject speed into OC Pat Shurmur’s spread-offense. 

REACTION TO THE DENVER BRONCOS ROOKIE CLASS

“I see too many wide receivers when you’re watching college tape running wide open and not running NFL-type routes on a consistent basis. I think in Jeudy’s case, he’s coming from an offense that should help him progress quicker based upon the work he puts in. I think the same thing with KJ.” – Denver Broncos Head Coach Vic Fangio

“Once you understand the system and you’re able to go out and just play ball, just have fun, that’s when you start seeing the big plays and all these positive things start to happen because of the pure joy that this sport brings. Not making it harder than it is — I think that was one of the biggest things my rookie year. I put so much pressure on myself because I never wanted to disappoint Demaryius or Emmanuel. I put so much pressure on myself. I had fun, but there were times where I was so in my own head about not making a mistake. I was like ‘Don’t mess up. Don’t mess up. Don’t mess up,’ instead of just going out there and having fun and playing the game the way I knew how to play the game.” – Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton
