Denver Broncos fans were treated to an athletic tight end in Julius Thomas during the 2013 season. Thomas burst on to the scene making plays everywhere the ball was thrown to him. His introduction to stardom would have never happened if the team showed patience with Thomas throughout the countless injuries he sustained.
Once Thomas saw a clear bill of health and fresh legs, it was evident he was one the best players on the football field.
Jeff Heuerman is seeing the same thing happen to him. The only difference between Thomas and Heuerman is game action.
