If Demaryius Thomas is one of the greatest receivers in Denver Broncos history, and statistics suggest he is, what could Dez Bryant have been in the Mile High City?
Kyle Orton, Tim Tebow, Peyton Manning, Brock Osweiler, Trevor Siemian or Paxton Lynch. Until this season, it didn’t matter who was starting at quarterback for the Broncos, Thomas was their go-to receiver. In almost nine seasons in Denver (including this year with Case Keenum, who has shown a clear preference for Emmanuel Sanders), Thomas amassed 665 receptions, 60 receiving touchdowns, 9,055 receiving yards and more 100-yard games (36) than any player in team history, before his trade Tuesday morning to Houston.
