ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos will bring their rookie class into the team complex later this week for a few days of welcome-to-the-franchise 101 work. The group is George Paton's first as the team's general manager, and it provides the first glimpse into how he wants to do his job. "It was everything I kind of envisioned, there were no surprises," said Paton of the draft in its aftermath. "I felt it went pretty smooth throughout the last three days. It is different when you're making the final call. [But] it didn't feel a whole lot different to tell you the truth."
Actually, he didn't need any time. "Was I more nervous for my draft day or his? His, no question. No question at all, not even close," Surtain said with the widest of parental smiles. "And he knows a lot -- a lot -- more about what he needs to do than I did in 1998. I wish I would have known what he knows." Cornerback Pat Surtain II was the Broncos' first-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft, No. 9 overall. And while most of the 259 players selected will have to learn how to be professional football players with more than a few bumps on the learning curve, Surtain II has an advantage.
