The Denver Broncos have been making headlines recently, and it's not just because of their on-field performance. According to a recent article in The Athletic, the team has been consuming a whopping 700 Uncrustables per week last season. That's right, sealed crustless sandwiches consisting of peanut butter and jelly filling held together by crimped edges. Multiple players have confirmed that the number is likely even greater this year.
The revelation has surprised many, including cornerback Riley Moss who said, "I definitely believe that." But he's not the only one. Like Moss, many players were stunned by the number. Some even joked that competitive eater Joey Chestnut must be on the team. But the question remains, who is consuming all these PB&J sandwiches?
Some have speculated that it could be team officials or the IT guy upstairs, but most players deny being the main culprit. Understandably, the team doesn't want to lean into the idea that their success is solely attributed to the consumption of PB&J sandwiches. After all, they have a strict nutrition plan in place and employ sports science to ensure their players are eating healthy.
But what happens between meals? When players, coaches, or employees want a quick snack? That's where the Uncrustables come in. As center Alex Forsyth explained, "I get here around 6:30 a.m. and eat breakfast. So, around 11 you want something before heading out to practice. I will have probably two a week. I like them."
So, who is the main PB&J eater? The offensive line seemed like the obvious choice, but they denied being the ones responsible. Center Luke Wattenberg admitted to having one here and there, but nothing out of the ordinary. The answer may lie with the cornerbacks, specifically rookie Pat Surtain II, who admitted to consuming two Uncrustables a day.
Not all teams are on board with the PB&J trend though. The Saints and Bengals only consume 50 per week, while the Seahawks come in second with 320. The Broncos, however, take the cake with a whopping 700. It's a number that rivals their record of 5-3 this season, and if they continue to have success, it will surely go down in history as the greatest thing since sliced bread... and PB&J sandwiches.
In conclusion, the mystery of the Broncos' PB&J consumption continues. But one thing is for sure, those Uncrustables are definitely disappearing, and someone on the team is eating them. As wide receiver Michael Bandy jokingly said, "They keep disappearing." So, who is the real PB&J champion of the Broncos? Only time will tell.
