Nobody in Denver is more excited about the arrival of quarterback Peyton Manning then third-year receivers Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker.
And for good reason, too.
Thomas caught 32 passes for 551 yards and four touchdowns last season while Decker hauled in 612 passes for 612 yards and eight touchdowns. With Manning under center, those numbers are expected to jump in 2012.
“When you think about Peyton Manning in his career, when he started under center, he’s had a receiver in the Pro Bowl every year, with the exception of his rookie season,” former NFL running back Marshall Faulk said on NFL Network’s Total Access show Wednesday evening. ”He’s puts guys into the Pro Bowl.”
Faulk knows first-hand the benefits of having Manning as your quarterback, as he earned a Pro Bowl berth following Manning’s rookie season in which the duo connected 86 times for 908 yards and four scores. On the ground, Faulk added 1,319 yards and six more scores during the 199...

DJ Williams could be released by Broncos
Last week, DJ Williams lost the appeal of his 6 game suspension for providing a “non-human specimen” in a drug test. Since then, there has been speculation that Williams could be released. Williams has a history of off the field issues and is owed 11 million dollars over the final 2 years of his contract in 2012-2013. Being suspended for 6 games is not helping his case.
