ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- For any rookie walking into an NFL facility for the first time, the atmosphere can be pretty daunting.
"They walk in here and all these vets are in here," Head Coach Gary Kubiak said Friday. "That’s intimidating for these kids who you’re trying to get settled down a little bit before we put them with the (veteran) group."
It can only help to have someone you know, perhaps even a good friend, to experience that "shock" along with you. Hence the excitement for former Tulane cornerbacks Lorenzo Doss and Taurean Nixon when the Broncos nabbed each in the NFL draft, in the fifth and seventh rounds respectively.
