Often the first responsibility for a rookie is to seek out guidance and leadership from NFL veterans who have been in the fire before. Broncos fifth-round pick Connor McGovern didn’t have a plethora of experience to choose from but quickly found a trio of second-year pros to guide him.
Just last year center Matt Paradis was trying to make the leap from practice squad to the 53-man roster. Rookies Ty Sambrailo and Max Garcia hoped to find their role in the transition from college to NFL. Now, all three have become a sounding board for McGovern’s questions and talk about the scheme.
