Think Juwann Winfree can fly on the football field?

You should have seen him on a skateboard.

Picture this: A middle school adrenaline junkie rolling down blacktop near the Hudson River in eastern New Jersey. Find a trick, practice like crazy and land it. He’d glide through the air on six-, seven- and eight-stair drops. Fearless.

“It was a hobby that I grew to really love,” Winfree said. “I can still kick-flip.”

These days, Winfree walks through the Broncos’ training facility with a similar skate swagger. He still craves the thrill but finds it elsewhere.
