Broncos' Courtland Sutton on Becoming No. 1 WR: 'I Accept That Role'

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton says he's ready to accept the mantle as the team's top target in 2019.

"The No. 1 role, you can't go into a game and have one or two catches," Sutton told reporters at a press conference Tuesday. "You have to go into a game and be that guy. I accept that role."

Sutton is currently the Broncos' top wide receiver on their depth chart with Emmanuel Sanders, who is recovering from a torn Achilles. It's likely the Broncos will go into 2019 with Sutton and DaeSean Hamilton, both second-year guys, as their top targets.
