Broncos-Raiders NFL Week 12: Must-reads
Broncos’ rookie class, which Sean Payton predicted could be special, is starting to make its presence felt
Even before the NFL draft dust settled, Sean Payton felt good about the Broncos’ seven-man rookie class.
By the time training camp rolled around, he wasn’t afraid to say so publicly.
The calendar hadn’t yet turned to August when Payton told NFL Network, “I think you’ll see this as the season unfolds with this draft class: It’s been an impressive group. We all root for our draft classes and yet you go by what you see. I was talking with (owner and CEO) Greg Penner the other day and I said, ‘You just mark my words: Three or four years from now, we’ll look back on this draft class and it will be significant as to what we’re able to accomplish.”

Broncos WR Courtland Sutton has been “security blanket” for Bo Nix during midseason surge
Bo Nix doesn’t care how tight the coverage is. If he sees Courtland Sutton running down the field, the Broncos quarterback is confident good things will happen.
That has been prevalent as Nix has gotten more comfortable over the past five weeks, and especially in Denver’s 38-6 win over the Falcons last Sunday. In the third quarter of that matchup, Nix rolled to the right and pumped fake before lofting the ball to midfield where Denver’s veteran wideout made one of his trademark contested catches over Atlanta cornerback A.J. Terrell Jr.
The play followed a familiar trend: As Nix’s production level has increased, so has Sutton’s. Read Ryan McFadden’s full story.
