DT gets real about this Broncos team while Elway stays the course with its coach

Demaryius Thomas spoke with Rod Smith on Orange & Blue Radio Monday afternoon, and it was the most candid conversation you’ve ever heard from DT.

And it was as much heartbreaking as it was heartwarming.

DT loves Denver, loves the Broncos, loves the fans - and he didn’t want to go. But he was still able to joke about it with all-time great Rod Smith: “They got me out of here before I could even break all Rod’s records!” he laughed.

And in a crafty blame-shift, Smith put it on Shannon Sharpe, joking that the Hall-of-Fame tight end was the one most worried about DT catching him on the all-time receptions leaderboard (Smith is tops with 849 then Sharpe at 675 and Thomas with 665).
