Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders — out. Jet Yang and Eric Vue — in.
Peyton Manning found a pair of new (and much younger) receivers during Day 3 of Broncos camp Sunday. And this was no .
Yang, 11, and Vue, 12, took the field to successfully catch passes from the veteran quarterback, drawing a roar of cheers from the near-4,000 fans in attendance.
Afterward, in a confessional on the Broncos’ website, which was almost as great as the catches themselves:
“I wanted to go over and run a couple routes with Peyton. And I see Peyton going over to the sideline to get two kids to come out and catch. I had to demonstrate and try to show him how to do it and I was successful. It has been a while but I was able to go out and catch a fade route for a touchdown.
“So I was a DB. One scored on me. He had the 88 jersey on, of course, and the other had the 18 – he probably should have been the one throwing the pass because I know if Peyton tried to get out and catch a fade route, it probably wouldn’t have been the best thing, but the kid wanted to run a different route. He wanted to run a slant so he ran the slant. He made a touchdown with the 18 jersey, but 88 ran the fade again, scored a touchdown.
“You know we like to run fades and score touchdowns but that was one of the good things that both of the kids came out and they had a little fun and scored some touchdowns.”
