It was dark, and finally quiet, when Jalen Virgil got back to his apartment late Sunday after his NFL debut in Tennessee earlier in the day. It finally let what happened all soak in.
The Broncos lost, but Virgil won. The undrafted rookie receiver hauled in a 66-yard touchdown on his first target in the NFL, showcasing his game-breaking speed in the 17-10 defeat.
“When I finally got back to my apartment, I sat down and I put my phone down for a second because there was a lot of action going on on my phone,” Virgil said.
