  • NFL Draft 2019 Grades: Evaluating the Broncos and Every Other Team’S Picks by Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post April 29, 2019
    NFL draft 2019 grades: Evaluating the Broncos and every other team’s picks By Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post April 29, 2019 A team-by-team recap of this weekend’s NFL draft: NFC Arizona Cardinals A — The Cardinals selected immediate starters/contributors with their first five picks: QB Kyler Murray, CB Byron Murphy, WR Andy Isabella, DE Zach Allen and WR Hakeem Butler. With play-caller/coach Kliff Kingsbury, the Cardinals may not be successful, but they’ll be interesting. Atlanta Falcons C-plus — The Falcons ignored cornerback until round 5 (Jordan Miller). First-rounders Chris Lindstrom (No. 14) and Kaleb McGary (No. 31 after a trade-up) will start at right guard and right tackle, respectively. Carolina Panthers B — Liked what the Panthers did early. DE Brian Burns will team with veteran Bruce Irvin to replace Julius Peppers. LT Greg Little will get a chance to beat out 2017 second-round pick Taylor Moton and QB Will Grier could stop the revolving back-up spot. Chicago Bears D — If you factor in the Khalil Mack trade (which costs them a first-round pick), the grade would be different. But the Bears had only five picks (one in the first 125). RB David Montgomery (round 3) will back up Mike Davis. Dallas Cowboys C — No first-round pick because of the Amari Cooper trade. The Cowboys had nine picks, but only two in the top 116. They chose two defensive ends (Joe Jackson and Jalen Jelks) and running backs (Tony Pollard and Mike Weber) apiece. Detroit Lions C-minus— Tough to be fired up about anything the Lions did after tight end T.J.

  • Kiszla: There's Only One Way Beautiful Bro-Mance Between Broncos Chris
    Kiszla: There’s only one way beautiful bro-mance between Broncos Chris Harris Jr. and Von Miller can continue beyond 2019 By Mark Kiszla Denver Post July 18, 2019 The two most essential pieces for Denver this season? Shaq and Kobe … or Chris and Von, if your heart bleeds orange. Before the Broncos even don the pads, there’s already a controversy at training camp. Von Miller and Chris Harris Jr., the two best players on the team, are bickering like brothers. “We are like Shaq and Kobe,” Harris said Wednesday, comparing the Broncos’ stellar defensive tandem to the legendary Los Angeles Lakers of yore. So being the intrepid reporter, I asked: Which one is Shaquille O’Neal? And who is Kobe Bryant? Harris immediately piped up: “He’s Shaq.” And Miller retorted: “I’m definitely Kobe.” Children, please. Try to behave. We all know the Broncos haven’t been on the same page – or in the NFL playoffs — since Super Bowl 50. So it appears Harris and Miller are already in mid-season form, even before new coach Vic Fangio is forced to toss aside his beloved gray sweats in the sweltering July heat. Yes, Miller and Harris are just messing with each other about the Shaq and Kobe stuff. So let’s get down to serious business: How good should Broncos Country expect their favorite team to be in 2019? “I’ll let you guys set that. We know what our goals are,” said GM John Elway, his trademark swagger stuck in a revolving door of failed quarterbacks during the past three seasons.

  • Ron Jaworski
    WORLDWIDE SPEAKERS GROUP LLC YOUR GLOBAL PARTNER IN THOUGHT LEADERSHIP RON JAWORSKI After a 17-year distinguished career as an NFL quarterback, today Jaworski is coaching football fans on TV with a multiplatform NFL analyst role that includes appearances on Sunday NFL Countdown, Monday Night Countdown, NFL Matchup, NFL-branded specials, Mike & Mike in the Morning, Pardon the Interruption, and other platforms and shows throughout the year. ESPN’S Mike Tirico said, “If you made a list of 10 guys on TV in any sport as an analyst who you'd want to have a beverage with and watch a game, he’s [Ron Jaworski] high on that list.” Before switching to his current multiplatform analyst role with ESPN, Ron spent five seasons in the booth with Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden as the color commentator for Monday Night Football. Jaworski’s passion for football can be traced back to his days as a kid growing up in the gritty steel town of Lackawanna, NY. A three-sport stand out in high school (football, basketball and baseball), Jaworski was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals out of high school. He wanted to go play baseball immediately, but his father pushed for college first, and Jaworski’s football talents brought him to Youngstown State where he excelled as the quarterback for the Penguins. The Los Angeles Rams drafted Jaworski in the second round of the 1973 NFL Draft. After four years with the Rams, Jaworski joined the Philadelphia Eagles in 1977. Under head coach Dick Vermeil and behind Jaworski’s ability and field leadership, the Eagles advanced to their first-ever berth in a Super Bowl vs.

  • Juwann Winfree's Personal Evolution Leads to Broncos Opportunity. by Kyle Fredrickson Denver Post June 17, 2019
    “He was going to rise.” Juwann Winfree's personal evolution leads to Broncos opportunity. By Kyle Fredrickson Denver Post June 17, 2019 Former CU wide receiver took long road to become Denver sixth-round NFL draft pick. Think Juwann Winfree can fly on the football field? You should have seen him on a skateboard. Picture this: A middle school adrenaline junkie rolling down blacktop near the Hudson River in eastern New Jersey. Find a trick, practice like crazy and land it. He’d glide through the air on six-, seven- and eight- stair drops. Fearless. “It was a hobby that I grew to really love,” Winfree said. “I can still kick-flip.” These days, Winfree walks through the Broncos’ training facility with a similar skate swagger. He still craves the thrill but finds it elsewhere. The rookie receiver, a sixth-round pick out of CU, evades defensive backs with kick-flip footwork and sails through the sky to grab deep passes from quarterback Joe Flacco. The rush of a lifetime. Winfree has always sought speed, and sometimes, to a fault. It nearly derailed this dream. “The way this whole process happened to me was so crazy,” Winfree said. “God was truly on my side.” Winfree dropped skateboarding in seventh grade after a football coach’s ultimatum but rediscovered adrenaline in all the wrong places. He chose Maryland among 26 Division-I scholarship offers out of Dwight Morrow High School, and about 16 months after signing day, the program suspended Winfree indefinitely as a result of failed drug tests and check fraud.

  • From the Conference Room to the Locker Room: Lawyers in Sports Operations
    From the Conference Room to the Locker Room: Lawyers in Sports Operations Skills and Professional Development Sports and Entertainment 1 / 6 In the ACC Docket July/August 2017 issue, I wrote about lawyers who have transitioned to CEO. During my research, I stumbled upon another interesting career change — specifically, lawyers who transitioned into sports operations with major league teams. Unbeknownst to many, some well-known 2 / 6 individuals, such as Theo Epstein of the Chicago Cubs, Howie Roseman of the Philadelphia Eagles, and Larry Lucchino, who won championships in both baseball and football, are all from legal backgrounds. However, this is also evident on a more micro level with lawyers occupying various positions that are often moving from a purely in-house position to sports operations within the organization. To get more insight on the topic, I spoke to Julien Brisebois, assistant general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning, and Kevin Gilmore, former EVP of the Montreal Canadiens. Both began their careers as lawyers and transitioned into an operational role. Julien Brisebois began his career in Montreal with the law firm Heenan Blaikie, where he was sent on secondment with their client, the storied hockey team Montreal Canadiens. Eventually, the Canadiens hired Brisebois as in-house counsel, then he moved to an operations role. Since 2010, he has been the assistant general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Brisebois never played hockey at a high level nor did he study sports management. In fact, he never even considered a career in sports on a pro level until his career as a lawyer began.
