AFC West Notes: Broncos, Chargers, Raiders

Broncos

New Broncos G Graham Glasgow will likely take over the leadership role on the teamโ€™s offensive line, with tackles Garett Bolles and Jaโ€™Wuan James each having individual struggles last season.

โ€œThatโ€™s something I have no issues with,โ€ Glasgow told Mike Klis of 9News. โ€œThatโ€™s something I feel like Iโ€™ve done really well over my time in college, high school, and even in the pros at times in Detroit. I feel like that comes with the territory of being an older player who has played a lot of football, who has seen a lot of stuff and experienced a lot of things. Thatโ€™s something Iโ€™m really looking forward to. Iโ€™m really looking forward to getting out there and seeing the personalities in the room and trying to make sure we can put the best product out there on Sunday.โ€

Chargers

Former Ohio State WR K.J. Hill saw 33 receivers selected before he finally came off the board in the seventh round. He says he wonโ€™t forget that number.

โ€œA lot of people skipped on me. A lot of people doubted me,โ€ Hill said, via Daniel Popper of The Athletic โ€œIโ€™m not fast enough. My hands are not big enough. They want to blow up my attributes. They was questioning it. All I can do is go out there and prove them wrong.โ€

Going forward, Hill plans to use his status as the 34th receiver taken as motivation to prove his doubters wrong.

โ€œI felt it watching the draft,โ€ Hill said. โ€œEvery receiver that got picked before me, watching it, seeing it happen. Iโ€™m just taking that as fuel and putting that in the back of my head and remembering it every time Iโ€™m on the field, and remembering where I got picked and the guys that got picked before me.โ€

Raiders

Don Webb, the chief operating officer for the Raidersโ€™ construction subsidiary, says the teamโ€™s new Las Vegas stadium remains on track to complete construction on July 31, despite the challenges presented by the pandemic. 

โ€œThe coronavirus pandemic has upended daily life and made an already ambitious project schedule even more challenging,โ€ Webb said, via the Las Vegas Review-Journal. โ€œBut even with this added degree of difficulty, Allegiant Stadium remains on track for substantial completion of its construction on July 31.

โ€œThe construction continues generally on a six-day a week schedule, with a daily workforce that has exceeded 2,000 workers on site.โ€
