Owen Daniels came for Kubiak, Manning, finds paradise (The Associated Press)

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- For Owen Daniels, this is heaven.

His quarterback is Peyton Manning.

His coach is Gary Kubiak.

And he's living in Colorado.

Daniels smiled at the mention of each of these benefits as the Broncos began their final week of offseason workouts Monday.

The big tight end from the University of Wisconsin reunited with Kubiak, who's been at his side for his entire NFL career, and he brings pedigree to a position where Manning lost Pro Bowler Julius Thomas in free agency.

In what he calls ''a big bonus,'' Daniels gets to watch the ferocious spring storms roll over the snowcapped Rocky Mountains and swirl across the sky before re-gathering in a fury over the Great Plains.
