The Broncos re-signed a free agent tight end this offseason, but it wasn’t their biggest name at the position.
Julius Thomas is now in Jacksonville while Virgil Green has remained in Denver for a fifth season. Green’s first four seasons have seen him spend a lot of time as a blocker, which has resulted in just 23 catches. Even with Owen Daniels on board, that number is expected to go up in 2015 with head coach Gary Kubiak’s offense frequently targeting tight ends. Green likes those expectations.
“I believe I can do what’s needed of me,” Green said, via ESPN.
