1. Did the NFL do the right thing by appealing Judge Robinson’s decision on a six-game suspension for Deshaun Watson? 2. If Romeo Doubs makes plays on the playing field these next three weeks, can you see him eventually becoming the Packers WR1 at some point this season?   3. Several on Twitter mentioned a hypothetical trade with in which the Bears send Roquan Smith and their 2023 fifth-round...

1. As you know, it takes a lot of responsibility to be a Denver Broncos Cheerleader, and even more as a team captain. What are your main responsibilities as a DBC captain off the field as well as on the field? 2. We mentioned the current job you had in the intro (and we’ll get to that soon) but a previous job you had was as a character performer at Disney World. How did that experience shape you i...

1. Why should Broncos fans be expecting the “boom” more than the “bust” from Nathaniel Hackett and the new coaching staff? 2.

1. Jaguars -In the long run you think Travon Walker’s production will end up matching his jaw-dropping traits?   -Several analysts, including Mark Schofield, pointed out Lloyd’s underrated Micah Parsons-esque versatility to rush off the edge as well as play that off-ball LB position. Right after this pick was made, I envisioned a sub-package with Lloyd and Josh Allen on the edge and Travon Wa...

1. Browns -If Deshaun Watson is suspended for the entire 2022 season, do you think the Browns end up with a top-10 pick in 2023, which is one that will obviously belong to the Texans? -How does Martin Emerson fit into this deep and talented Browns secondary? -Can you see Alex Wright as that long-term bookend to Myles Garrett coming off the edge? -What skills does David Bell bring to the Browns WR...

1. It’s been just over one year and one month since you became a DBC…and the moment you made the team was one of historical significance for the DBC and the Broncos organization. Explain why that was so 2. Just a few months ago, you and some of your teammates went on a military tour that included stops in Portugal, Spain and Italy. What were some of the major highlights from that adventure? ...

In a recent interview with Alexis Rae Perry on Broncos Country Connected, your amazing director Shawna Peters said she has shown some of the questions on that football test to players and they came away a bit surprised at how advanced some of them were. What was your score on the football test this year and can yo...

This summer, we will be interviewing several of the 2022 Denver Broncos Cheerleaders. But before then, I wanted to share my personal story as to just how much the women on this team past and present have meant to me

1. As you know, we are just a few days away from the 2022 NFL Draft. Hundreds of young men will see their dreams come true as they will get drafted to play in America’s biggest professional sports league. But the pre-draft process, as I’m sure you’d agree having gone through it yourself, is the grind of grinds with all the training, the Combine, Pro Days, top-30 team visits, etc. Describe what a d...

1. As you know this spring in the NFL can be summed up in one word: trades. We have seen star player after star player get traded for a bounty of draft picks…and we may not be done. As ESPN’s Jeff Darlington reported on Wednesday, 49ers star WR Deebo Samuel has asked for a trade. While the Niners apparently do not intend to honor that request at this time, you know as well as anybody that things i...

1. Buzz suggests the Giants are one of the two teams in the top-10 that are most likely to trade back. GM Joe Schoen wants to pull off a similar trade the division-rival Eagles just made with the Saints and get an additional 2023 first-round pick. However, the feeling around the NFL is that there isn’t a player in this draft worth spending such capital to trade up for, which means that such a haul...

1. As of right now, buzz suggests the Jaguars decision on who to select with that first overall pick will come down to pass rushers Aidan Hutchinson or Travon Walker. But there is a level of risk in selecting either one of them and a big reason why is this: it can be argued that either Evan Neal or Ikem Ekwonu are better than any of the Jaguars OT’s right now and thus Jacksonville might be passing...

1. If you’re Broncos GM George Paton, do you use the five picks you currently have in the top-150 to move up 10-15 picks in the second round to select a Day 1 difference maker that falls, or do you trade back and accumulate more draft capital, including 2023 picks?  2. Are the Chargers, at least on paper, currently the most talented team in the AFC West?   3. While the Raiders may have a...

1. This spring, the Jets heavily pursued Chandler Jones in free agency and were one of the two finalists to acquire Tyreek Hill via trade. Thus, many believe the Jets will be targeting an EDGE pass rusher and a WR with their two top-10 picks. However, there is also a lot of buzz that the Jets could be eyeing Sauce Gardner, arguably the best corner in this class, at 4 overall. That said, as valuabl...

1. The defending Super Bowl champion Rams built their championship roster by trading premium draft picks for proven, star talent. They haven’t had a first-round selection since 2016 and will (yet again) only have one pick in the first three rounds this year. And as the saying goes, the NFL is a copycat league, and boy has the Rams strategy been replicated this spring. Star players like Russell Wil...

1. All the latest speculation when it comes to the Panthers suggests they just might take a swing on a QB in the first round. That is not a surprise given that Matt Rhule’s job is on the line plus how aggressive they’ve been in looking for a long-term heir to Cam Newton for nearly two years. But as you know, this 2022 QB class is underwhelming to say the least…and the Panthers only have one pick i...
