Wednesday Practice Report

July 29th, 2009 - 1:05pm by Chris GentilvisoOther posts by Chris Gentilviso

Wednesday’s practice came to a close with the Broncos completing an hour-long session chock full of different drills and installments.

Brandon Marshall, Lucas Taylor and D.J. Williams missed the morning session. Head Coach Josh McDaniels said it was due to residual soreness.

Here are some quick hits from Wednesday:

  • Brandon Stokley was at camp early for a second day in a row. His son, sporting a Carmelo Anthony Nuggets jersey Tuesday, wore an Eddie Royal jersey on Wednesday. Chad Jackson and Lonie Paxton were a few of the players spotted walking around Dove Valley today.
  • Linebackers coach Don Martindale had Wesley Woodyard and Lee Robinson working on goal-line stands, with each rotating between the tight end and linebacker position.

    Through the better part of three decades as a collegiate head coach, Steve Spurrier has instructed his share of talented wide receivers.

    From his 12-year tenure at Florida and on through his current post at South Carolina, Spurrier has worked with a number of NFL-caliber wide outs in the Southeastern Conference — thirteen-year NFL veteran Ike Hilliard, Minnesota Vikings 2007 draft pick Sidney Rice and first-year Bronco Jabar Gaffney are a few names that come to mind.

    Yet, Spurrier has labeled a different individual as the “best wide receiver I’ve ever coached.” The ol’ ball coach has given that distinct honor to Broncos fifth round draft pick Kenny McKinley.
