DENVER BRONCOS QUOTES (8/12/21)RUNNING BACK MELVIN GORDON III, WIDE RECEIVER KJ HAMLER & WIDE RECEIVER JERRY JEUDYOn if WR KJ Hamler is his hype manJerry Jeudy: “Yeah, that’s my boy KJ back here protecting me. Alright, let’s start off.”On what he he’s enjoyed most about the joint practices with MinnesotaJJ: “What I’ve enjoyed most was coming out here and competing with different faces and getting into it with some of the guys that I know for the Vikings. Basically, that’s it—coming out here and competing against somebody different.”On if he had a lot of fun yesterdayJJ: “It’s always fun to come out here. I enjoy every moment in being out here and playing the game [that] I love playing. Especially yesterday, I enjoyed myself. I think everybody—all the receivers enjoyed [themselves] yesterday and today. We’re just having fun, doing what we love doing.”On his touchdown catch in Thursday’s practice KJ Hamler: “My catch from today—it was just a deep post, and I ran fast and ran past the defense. But that was about it.”On his expectations for the season JJ: “I just really want to focus on being better than I was last year. Just improving each and every day during practice and just learning from my coaches. I have high expectations for myself, but I’m just excited to see how this year comes.”On if making plays against new defenders helps to build confidence JJ: “Yeah, it does a lot. Going against the same guys at practice, you get tired of going against the same people every day. So, once you see new faces, it builds more confidence, of course, because you’re going against new people and different faces.”On if the media is overreacting to WR Jerry Jeudy’s talent levelMelvin Gordon III: “No, he’s pretty talented, man. He’s mindset—he has a mindset right now that he wants to be the greatest to ever do it. He comes out here every day and he showcases it. That’s why you guys are talking to him right now about the plays he’s making. He has grit, man; he has the mindset, the focus. He’s going to make it happen. He’s going to open a lot of people’s eyes. I said that before, and I’m going to continue to say it.”On if he’ll be playing in the preseasonMG III: “I’ll just do whatever [Head] Coach [Vic Fangio] tells me to do. I’m not walking to him, asking him, ‘Coach, am I playing or not?’ I think he has his plan. I don’t know what he’s doing. Every head coach is different. Some guys split it, some guys don’t. It just all depends on what the coach wants. I’ll let him handle that. That’s a better-suited question for him. I’m sure you asked [him] though.”On how many reps he wants to take amongst the running back roomMG III: “I want to carry the load. That’s what I’m here for. You feel me? I want to carry the load. If I can’t, I hope we have some better running backs that can. We all can do it. It just comes down to what jersey number they call.”On the mood of the team currentlyMG III: “We good, man! We all honestly came up here because we just want to shower and go home at this point. So that’s why we’re all [here]. We just wanted to make this really quick. So, let’s kind of wrap this up.”Closing statementKH: “No more questions for [RB] Melvin Gordon [III], [WR] Jerry Jeudy or [WR] KJ Hamler. Thank you.” ................
