Good morning, #BroncosCountry –
We hope you’re enjoying your Monday. Here are a couple storylines to get caught up on, starting with a personal essay (you should probably grab a couple tissues):
1. ‘For Mamma’
Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas has had his fair share of ups and downs in life. At the age of 11, Thomas’ mother Katina Smith was incarcerated, leaving him and his sisters as orphans in their rural Georgia town.
On Monday the Player’s Tribune published an inspiring essay by Thomas about his struggles and determination — and how his life changed when President Barack Obama this summer commuted his mother’s sentence.
