As the Broncos gear up for a new season, cornerback Pat Surtain II knows that things will be different this time around. With changes to the roster and the departure of key players like Justin Simmons, Surtain is now expected to take on a leadership role on defense. It's a responsibility he takes great pride in, knowing that his team sees him as a leader. He understands the importance of setting a good example and is ready to step up to the challenge.
Being a top recruit in high school and a standout player at Alabama, Surtain is used to high expectations. But he doesn't let the pressure get to him. In fact, he thrives on it. He's excited to live up to those expectations and make a name for himself in the NFL. And with his talent and track record, it's no surprise that he's also expected to become one of the highest-paid cornerbacks in the league in the near future.
New defensive backs coach Jim Leonhard is looking forward to working with Surtain and helping him grow as a leader. While Surtain is already established as one of the best cornerbacks in the league, Leonhard believes he can have an even greater impact on and off the field. And throughout his football career, Surtain has always let his play do the talking.
Former Alabama coach Karl Scott can attest to Surtain's quiet nature. He even recalls a time when Surtain surprised him by joining in on some dancing at the bowling alley. But for the most part, Surtain is a reserved and focused player. His teammates have noticed this about him, but they also know that his words carry weight and they look to him for guidance and advice.
Despite the changes and uncertainties within the team, Surtain is optimistic about the upcoming season. He believes the defense is more comfortable and will play faster. Last season, the Broncos struggled with communication and consistency, but Surtain is confident that they have worked through those issues and will perform better this year.
However, there are still some question marks surrounding the secondary. With young and unproven players, there is a level of uncertainty about how they will perform on the field. But Surtain knows that whoever starts alongside him will have to be resilient and able to handle adversity. And with his leadership and guidance, the Broncos' defense is in good hands.
As the team prepares for the season, Surtain is excited for the opportunity to prove himself and make a name for himself in the NFL. And with his teammates and coaches by his side, he's ready to take on whatever challenges come his way. The Broncos may be viewed as a rebuilding team, but Surtain and his teammates are determined to show that they have what it takes to be successful. Are you ready for some Broncos football?
