ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Hundreds of names dotted the NFL's waiver wire this past weekend, sent on their way because of what Denver Broncos coach Vic Fangio has referred to as "the sometimes difficult process of becoming a pro football player."
It's a process that isn't always forgiving for those who need a little more time, perhaps a little more imagination from those making the decisions and maybe just a little vocational luck. In fact, sometimes making the team requires a player to take a fairly large gamble and switch positions.
"We want the best team we can put together," Fangio said.
