ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The rookies' first weekend with the Broncos isn't what it used to be -- but that doesn't mean it's less beneficial than the days with more extensive on-field work.
Above all, this weekend is about getting the Broncos' rookie class ready for the rigors of the NFL that await them over the coming weeks, months -- and, hopefully, years. The expectations and demands in pro football are beyond what any of these players have experienced. Friday, they began learning about what awaits them.
"It's just the mental aspect. Everything's just different," running back Phillip Lindsay said.
