The Denver Broncos, following their preseason debut in 2021, appear to have made a solid choice with their ninth overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Instead of taking a chance on a guy like Justin Fields or Mac Jones, they took Alabama cornerback Pat Surtain II.
Surtain made several nice plays against the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday. Surtain finished his debut with an interception for a touchdown off of a Jake Browning throw. This goes to show that the comments that have been said by many of the Denver Broncos’ players and coaches about Surtain II were not lies.
