No offense to Teddy Bridgewater and Drew Lock, but going up against them in practice every day wasn’t going to prepare Pat Surtain for playing against Patrick Mahomes-level quarterbacks in the AFC West and the league’s other top QBs.
That’s changed now, as Russell Wilson has been challenging Surtain in practice. The Broncos are also deep at receiver, with Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick among the wideouts testing Surtain every day.
“It’s helps me a lot, going against premiere talent like that with a great quarterback and great perimeter players,” Surtain said last week. “That helps me as a player and [helps] build on my game. It’s always great going against them.”
