Denver Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas was nervous around QB Peyton Manning on first practice
The Denver Broncos made headlines this offseason by grabbing four-time Most Valuable Player (MVP) and quarterback Peyton Manning.
Manning’s arrival to the franchise has led many to believe that the franchise has found the missing link that will now help them reach and win the Super Bowl Championship in the near future.
No one is happier to see Manning select the Broncos as his franchise when he finally moved on from the Indianapolis Colts, than Broncos wide receiver, Demaryius Thomas.
In an interview with the National Football League’s (NFL) official website the wide receiver said that he followed the Peyton Manning sweepstakes with a keen interest and was elated when the four-time MVP chose the Broncos.
He said:
"When it got down to two teams, us and San Francisco, that's when I really started watching. I was actually playing it like I was him. Looking at the good receivers on that team and this team. The offensive line, defence. I saw it like, 'He wants to go to
a place that can win a championship. He's been in the league a while now and is coming off that injury.' "
He also added that when he first got to train with Manning he could not help but feel a little nervous being around the legendary quarterback and wanted to make sure he gave his best to show the quarterback his talent.
"Future Hall of Famer, first day on the field, I've got to do everything correct. That's going to take some time. I've got to get better and better because if you mess up he'll be on you."
The quarterback’s arrival at the franchise has lifted hopes around Denver and fans believe that if Manning remains healthy for the entire season the franchise has a great opportunity to make a serious push for the playoffs.
Thomas who had his career best year last season playing with former teammate and quarterback, Tim Tebow said that Tebow is a great player and everybody loved him.
He also said that he had fun with Tebow as he greatly helped him achieve his best career productivity.
Tebow is the past it is now time for the Broncos to dream big with Peyton Manning.
