Bruton Speaks at YESS Institute Mentoring Celebration

May 22nd, 2013 - 6:39pm by Stuart ZaasOther posts by

Broncos safety David Bruton more experience than most players at speaking to a group of students.

During the 2011 offseason, Bruton worked as a substitute teacher in his hometown school district in Miamisburg, Ohio, teaching students in grades 1 through 12.

So when he was asked to serve as the keynote speaker at the YESS Institute Mentoring Year-End Celebration, it was a natural fit.

“Any time I can get in front of youth and deliver a message or teach it’s definitely great,” Bruton said. “It’s just something that I love to do.”

Bruton posed for pictures with the students and the student-mentors at the beginning of the event, which was held in the United Club East Level at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.

May 13th, 2013 - 3:06pm by Stuart ZaasOther posts by

The Broncos opened up Be a Champion in the Community Week with a visit to Whittier School and the Denver Center for International Studies on Monday afternoon.

Throughout the week, the team will be spending time with different community partners in the greater Denver area.

“Our primary goal is to get an all-hands-on-deck approach involved in all of our community platforms,” Vice President of Community Development Cindy Kellogg said. “What’s special about this year in particular is having an entire week devoted to our community initiatives. In its second year, I think this will really bolster the impact of that, as well as introduce our players to the work that our organization is doing in the community.”

To start the week’s events, cornerback Mario Butler, tight end Joel Dreessen, guard Ben Garland, defensive end Malik Jackson, linebacker Steven Jackson, center Quentin Saulsberry and defensive tackle Sealver Siliga visited Whittier students at recess to promote healthy, active lifestyles. Cornerback Omar Bolden, cornerback Tony Carter, wide receiver Greg Orton and wide receiver Gerell Robinson did the same at Denver Center for International Studies.

Ten Reasons Broncos Fans are the NFL’s Best

April 20th, 2013 - 7:46am by cheerleadersOther posts by

Congratulations Broncos fans, you’ve done it again. Your spirit, loyalty and passion for the orange and blue never fails to amaze, and last week’s Mile High Salute to Fans Tour was no exception. I was honored to participate in our Inaugural Salute to Fans Tour (presented by, US Bank) along with several of my fellow cheerleaders, Broncos players, and Miles the Mascot. Together we spent 6-days in the heart of Broncos Country, traveling over 1400 miles and stopping in 20 different Colorado cities. It was an epic experience visiting with thousands of Broncos faithfuls from the mountains to the prairies, and by the end we all came to the same conclusion: Broncos fans are the best in the NFL. Here are 10 reasons why:

10. Record Crowds – Not only has every “non-strike” home game been sold out since 1970, you continue to break your own attendance records at scrimmages, pep-rally events, the cheerleaders’ Calendar Release party and yes, even small town autographs signings on caravan and our inaugural Salute to Fans Tour. The autograph line was wrapped around the block in several locations last week, Delta, CO wins the award for longest line. We love your enthusiasm!

9. You start ‘em young – Most of us would agree that children and babies dressed to the nines in orange and blue are cute enough to steal your heart. We would also agree that they are off the to right start in life by learning from a young age what a stellar football organization looks like in the Broncos. In Las Animas, Colorado, we met a gym full of students who wrote essays on “Why I want to meet the Denver Broncos.” When asked what the subject of their essay was, most of them said sportsmanship and their absolute love for the home team. These young Broncos fans clearly have bright futures ahead of them.

Broncos Strength Staff Holds Clinic for Local Coaches

April 4th, 2013 - 5:35pm by Stuart ZaasOther posts by

The Broncos’ strength and conditioning staff hosted a group of Denver-area high school football coaches for a free clinic at the team’s Dove Valley headquarters on Thursday evening.

“It’s a free strength clinic to help out local coaches and spread our methodology,” Strength and Conditioning Coach Luke Richesson said. “We have about one hundred coaches signed up this year.”

Richesson along with his assistants Jason George, Mike Eubanks and Anthony Lomando led the group of coaches through two 80-minute sessions that covered different aspects of strength and conditioning.

The clinic was geared toward the high school level and included program design and assessment, exercise selection, proper warmups, speed and agility training and plyometrics.

On one half of the team’s strength and conditioning center, Richesson and Lomando led the strength and power components. On the other side of the room, George and Eubanks covered the warmups, speed and agility and plyometric drills.
