Broncos rookie receiver Juwann Winfree not only wants to make the 53-man roster, he wants to be active on game day.
That’s why his tackle in punt coverage against the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday night was so important.
Four receivers are locks to be active — Emmanuel Sanders, Courtland Sutton, DaeSean Hamilton and Tim Patrick. The Broncos need their fifth receiver to be a core special teamer even if he’s not a returner.
Before practice on Monday, Winfree was asked what feels bigger: A catch to convert a third down or a special teams tackle?
