Broncos place-kicker Brandon McManus has worked with Special Olympics dating to his time as a high school student in Pennsylvania. Tuesday at Dove Valley, he was reminded exactly why he continues to volunteer.
The Broncos welcomed about 125 Special Olympics Colorado athletes to its indoor practice facility through the NFL’s Play 60 campaign for an hour-long event with select players, along with cheerleaders and mascot Miles, to run various football drills.
McManus, leading a running back agility workout, was caught by surprise when one attendee took charge, unannounced, while breaking down a huddle.
“Teamwork on three,” the attendee said.
