ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Plenty of Broncos players are reflecting on their own draft nights as this year’s edition approaches.
Quarterback Paxton Lynch was the latest to share his draft story, and he had reporters laughing as he recounted his night at a bowling alley on April 28, 2016.
“I had thought that I was going to go a couple places before [the Broncos drafted Lynch], like maybe to the Saints or something,” Lynch said. “[Lynch’s agent] Leigh [Steinberg] was just kind of giving me some ideas where he thought I was going to go, and there was a couple times, you know, [when] we were bowling and I went to the back room to kind of get ready for the phone call and it didn't happen and everyone's like looking through the window and I've got to get up and walk out.
