Broncos
Broncos LB Jonathon Cooper spoke about his new contract, noting that he didn’t want his extension to overshadow the effort that has been put in by the team this season.
โItโs all about the team to me,โโ Cooper said, via Mike Klis of 9NEWS. โItโs such a great personal accomplishment (getting the new contract) but it all relates to us winning these games to get to where weโre supposed to get to. Because we have such a good team here. You can see the culture changing and weโre so close to being that elite team and this organization getting back to where we used to be. And I donโt want to ever take away from that just because of my personal success.โ
โJust canโt wait to put my hands on somebody,โโ Cooper added. โI love this game. Iโve been playing it since I was 6 years old and Iโve always loved hitting. Iโve always had a knack for hitting on the defensive side of things. Yeah, I feel like itโs energy or electricity and just want to take it out on somebody.โ
