Good morning, #BroncosCountry -

We hope you're having an awesome Thursday! Here are three things to get caught up on today.

1. Broncos depart for Seattle

The Broncos are headed out for Seattle this morning for the first preseason game of 2015.

The guys have taken to Instagram with some wise words and even some teammate appreciation:

2. Ward remembers life of Kelly

S T.J. Ward honored the memory and death of his former teammate at De La Salle High School, Terrance Kelly. Kelly was tragically shot and killed two days before he was set to catch a flight to the University of Oregon for the start of fall football practices.

Ward would later walk on at Oregon and have a successful collegiate career, but he and his De La Salle teammates never forgot the impact that Kelly had on them.

For more information, you can read an article by DenverBroncos.com’s Ben Swanson last year, 10 years following his death.

3. In case you missed it…
