Days after the Broncos’ season-finale loss to the Chargers last December, Brendan Langley rushed into team headquarters and requested a meeting with general manager John Elway.
When told Elway wasn’t taking meetings that day, he pleaded: “I have to do this. Just give me five minutes.”
A 2017 third-round selection as a cornerback, Langley wanted to make the switch to wide receiver. The idea to bring it up to Elway had been on his mind for almost a month. But when he was granted his meeting request, Elway’s reaction came as a surprise.
