Broncos
Broncos HC Vance Joseph explained that having Case Keenum in place as the team’s starting quarterback has lifted weight off of Paxton Lynch‘s shoulders and will allow him to simply focus on getting better each day.
âI think for Paxton and our football team itâs been a weight off all of our backs to have a starting quarterback and have everyoneâs role defined from Day 1,â Joseph said, via DenverBroncos.com. âSo for Paxton, he can relax and get better each day and not worry about a competition. I think for Paxton being around Case also â I mean, Case has been through some ups and downs in his career, so he can learn from Case on how to handle those things. It takes time to be an NFL quarterback. You would hope with Case being here, he can sit back and relax and get better as a quarterback and not worry about being the guy right now and just compete to be our backup.â
Chargers
- Eric Williams of ESPN mentions that two undrafted free agents who flashed during the Chargers’ first day of rookie minicamp where cornerbacks Tony Brown and Brandon Facyson.
- Williams adds that San Diego State TE Darryl Richardson made a couple of nice catches and QBs Nic Shimonek and Troy Williams threw the ball well.
- If the Chargers are to add at any positions this summer, Williams believes linebacker and offensive line are two areas to watch along with tight end, running back and defensive tackle.
Patriots
The Patriots decided not to give anyone the defensive coordinator title this offseason, even though many expected the team to promote Brian Flores as Matt Patricia’s replacement.
Flores says he isn’t worried about what his specific title is with the team and is instead focused on doing his job.
âIâve never been big on titles,â Flores said, via the Providence Journal. âIâm here to work. Iâm here to help this team win any way I can. I think Iâve always said that in some form or fashion. Yeah, if they want me to get water Iâll get water. If thatâs the role you need to help us win then thatâs what Iâll do. âĤ This is a team sport, so everyone has different roles âĤ and those roles change throughout the year. Itâs ever changing. So, for me personally, whatever role Iâm in with this team Iâm going to do it to the best of my ability and try to do everything I can to help us win.â
