2. Courtland's corner

Second-round pick Courtland Sutton joined NFL Network over the weekend, and he explained his path to Denver. The crew also took an in-depth look at where Denver's depth chart stands after the 2018 NFL Draft.

They grew up only 20 miles apart.
Both played WR for @SMU_Football.
And now they're @NFL teammates.

How will the @Broncos use their new WR @SuttonCourtland?

"He does a lot of stuff you can't teach."
