Denver Broncos: Is Courtland Sutton the next Cody Latimer?

John Elway has used a second-round pick on the wide receiver position twice in his tenure with the Denver Broncos as an executive. Those two players — Courtland Sutton and Cody Latimer — were taken 16 picks apart in their respective drafts.

On paper, the two receivers match up similarly, but Broncos Country hopes that Sutton’s tenure is nothing like Latimer’s.

Cody Latimer

Cody Latimer is no longer a Denver Bronco, but his legacy will live on in the form of second round busts selected by John Elway. This wasn’t always the case, however. In fact, the selection of Latimer with the 56th overall pick was applauded by many analysts at the time.
