The Denver Broncos released the fifth episode of Behind the Broncos on their YouTube channel last week.
The episode most notably features second-year cornerback Pat Surtain, seventh-year safety Justin Simmons, future Hall of Fame quarterback Russell Wilson and coach Nathaniel Hackett.
The approximate 11-minute episode starts with the POV of a passenger riding shotgun while Surtain states how things have progressed since the start of the third phase of OTAs.
“This team [is] shaping up well,” Surtain said. “It’s a lot of guys that’s ready to play at that high level. [A] lot of guys that’s going into the season with a chip on their shoulder from last year, so I just think the sky’s the limit for us. We can only take us as far as we want to take us.”
It’s an Emmy-worthy setting from the show’s production crew. After hearing Surtain speaks about the Broncos, Broncos Country should be ready to run through a wall for the team.
Elsewhere, at about the two-minute mark, Simmons and Wilson speak candidly about the team-building process during the offseason. The duo both know it’s going to take a lot of sweat equity for the Broncos to actualize their seventh-best Super Bowl odds.
And around the six-minute mark, coach Hackett appears. He talks about the importance of picking up and building on the fundamentals during the offseason. He emphasizes the small things such as breaking the huddle and timing on routes.
Simmons and Wilson reappear around the eight-minute mark. They finish off the episode talking about accountability. Simmons spends time talking about a team meeting anecdote. But enough spoilers, check out the fifth episode of Behind the Broncos above.
