CB Jahdae Barron shows exactly what we saw on tape. WR Pat Bryant emphasizes the competitive knowledge

Englewood, Colo. – The first choice of the Broncos seems to be as announced.

When head coach Sean Payton watched the Texas Cornerback Jahdae Barron as Bronco during his first practices, Payton saw the characteristics that they evaluated during the preliminary design process.

“I would say [he is] Exactly what we saw on tape: Smart, Savvy, “said Payton.” When you watch carefully, some people change and stop very quickly. He quickly twitched. I would say he is sticky in reporting. I think he is one of these players who understand splits at a young age. I sometimes worry about the corners. … if you defend every route, you don't defend a route. It is really versed in relation to close split; He eliminates 80 percent of what could run. You feel an experienced player. “

The Jim Thorpe winner in 2024 was the best defensive bracker to the nation that he “enjoyed the process” when he returned to the practice field for the first time since January and he learns the nuances of the NFL game.

“I'm just taking care of it,” said Barron. “I try to learn the game schemes, the concepts that the offensive is now running at this level – many different movements, many different shifts. So I just adapt it and put it in my game.”

Bryant is looking for his own way

After the Broncos selected the Illinois Wide Receiver Pat Bryant in the third round, Payton offered an impressive comparison.

“There were so many things about his game that reminded me of me [former Saints WR] Mike Thomas, “said head coach Sean Payton after the design.

When asked about these comments, Bryant said that it was “great” to hear the comparison with a player like Thomas. However, he also said that he hopes to carve his own way.

“At the end of the day I try to control my own fate,” said Bryant. “I'm trying to be the best Pat Bryant that I can be.”

Part of the being of this version contains itself that it produces controversial catches that he made impressive during a repetition representative in training on Saturday.

“When the ball is in the air, it belongs to me,” said Bryant. “… these are the catches I have to do to be successful at this level.”

A year ago, the Broncos stood with low external expectations and took on the challenge – and fulfilled. This year the national story about the Broncos is far more positive – and Payton said the team would accept these higher expectations. One of the first signs of these expectations could be accompanied by the publication of the schedule on Wednesday, and Payton expects more games to be played in peak times than the 2024 team.

“It is part of the deal and you will make it comfortable,” said Payton. “It is much better than the alternative. That is what you want. It is one of the things that are coaching or playing here is the story. I think if you are a competitor, she drives it.”

… The Broncos had almost 60 players at the training on Saturday, including almost 30 College Tryout players. Denver has a success story with non -dragged players, and Payton said that the Broncos would discuss that they hire “a couple” of the players participated in the Saturday.

… Payton asked about the LineBacker Dre Greenlaw's injury and said that the experienced player was “on schedule” and will be a full participant when the training camp arrives.
