ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- He is the guy his teammates call “Sunshine" because of his long blond hair, a guy former Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning predicted last season was a good bet to make the Broncos roster this season.
But Broncos wide receiver Jordan Taylor brought the crowd at the team’s second training camp practice to its feet Thursday with a did-you-see-that, one-handed grab in one-on-one drills that was straight out of the Odell Beckham Jr. school of one-handed grabs....
...Taylor, who spent his rookie season with the Broncos on the practice squad in 2015, made several impact plays early in training camp last summer, but couldn’t hold the momentum and was released among the final roster cuts.
