The 2012 Broncos rookie class isn’t the only group enjoying its first NFL offseason together as a unit this year.

John Fox and his coaching staff didn’t have a typical NFL offseason a year ago due to the lockout.

This year, they’ve enjoyed the opportunity to work with the players both on and off the field.

“This is way different from a year ago when we went out on the field and practiced basically for the first time just before we were going to go out there for real,” Secondary Coach Ron Milus said. “So this time, this year, having the opportunity to work with these guys prior to training camp has been a big, big help.”
