Denver Broncos tight end Jake Butt suffered his torn ACL last September, and as one would expect, the road back has been long and hard. Butt had planned on making if back to the field for 2019, but things have apparently not been going too well in training camp, as he has been held out […]

When describing Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco, the word athletic doesn’t usually come to mind. Flacco has never been a scrambler, and he made his name due to his big arm not his legs.

The NFL continues to become more and more of a pass-happy league. Therefore, getting to the quarterback is as crucial as ever.
