Monday morning, before the Denver Broncos held their fifth training camp practice of the year, they hosted 50 active-duty military members for an NFL “Boot Camp” experience. This event was put on by USAA in collaboration with the NFL as part of Military Appreciation.
These military members took part in numerous drills that NFL players are put through. These drills included the 40-yard dash, vertical leap, pass and catch, 4-cone drill, and the vaunted “gauntlet” drill. Additionally, these folks got a VIP seating experience to view practice after the boot camp concluded.
I was on the scene to witness the event.
