The first day of Broncos training camp concluded Saturday with most players and coaches in the locker room when veteran linebacker Brandon Marshall and rookie tailback Phillip Lindsay lingered together on the grass.
They exchanged turns breaking down mechanics of a juke move. Lindsay jabbed his feet. Marshall shifted his hips. Each stopped, discussed, and went at it again while reporters looked on.
“He beat me on a move today and got me for a touchdown, so I was just talking technique,” Marshall explained. “It’s two teammates helping each other out.”
Here’s the kicker: Denver’s tailback depth chart is up for grabs, but if the season were to start tomorrow, Marshall has a pick for his runner of choice during critical down-and-distances.
