A touch of the familiar helps Darius Kilgo

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- When settling into a new job, it helps to see a familiar face -- even if it's one staring across from you at the line of scrimmage before the snap.

At the Broncos' recent rookie camp, Kilgo lined up and saw offensive lineman Max Garcia -- a former teammate and practice foe from their days at Maryland. Garcia transferred to Florida; Kilgo remained in College Park. But they didn't lose touch, and when the Broncos called their names on the draft's third day May 2, they called each other.

"As soon as we both got drafted, we kind of reached out to each other and kind of congratulated each other," Kilgo said.
