Denver Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain was born and raised in Plantation, Florida, and he later played college football in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
This week, Surtain will return to Florida when the Broncos go on the road to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa is nearly a four-hour drive north of where Surtain grew up, but that’s much closer than the 29-hour drive from Plantation to Denver. So he’ll have plenty of family and friends at Sunday’s game.
“A whole bunch,” Surtain said Wednesday. “[I’ll] probably have a little family reunion going on, but it’s going to be a lot of people. A lot of folks, a lot of family members, close friends that’s going to be there in attendance, so I’m looking forward to it for sure. I just love that my family travels in bunches. Being able to see that, experience that, honestly, I’m looking forward to it, I can’t wait.”
Surtain estimated he’ll need 10-20 tickets for the game. Going up against Mike Evans, PS2 will look to make his family proud in his home state.
