Jordan Norwood has 'earned his keep' as No. 3 Broncos receiver

Jordan Norwood has taken over the Broncos' No. 3-receiver position through two games with his snaps and production.

An impressive feat for a guy who before this season hadn't played in a regular-season game since 2012.

"With what we're asking out of that spot, he's earned his keep. He's a smart player you can move him all over the place," coach Gary Kubiak said.

It's hard to see the ball with Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders on the field, but Norwood has five catches for 39 yards. He's been on the field for nearly all of the Broncos' three- or four-receiver sets.
