ENGLEWOOD, Colo.—With the World Cup in full swing, the conversations between a pair of Denver Broncos punters center more on corner kicks than coffin kicks.
More on headers than hang time. More on countries capable of winning than coverage capable of stopping punt returners.
The soccer frenzy has swept up Britton Colquitt and A.J. Trapasso, who are competing for the starting job yet glued together by the world’s game.
As soon as minicamp practice ended Saturday, the two bolted into the building, intent on catching the U.S. game against England. Their passion has even been contagious, with other Broncos players gathering around the television set as the U.S. earned a tied at 1 when England goalkeeper Robert Green fumbled in Clint Dempsey’s kick.
