Sean Payton gave Courtland Sutton the Michael Thomas role in Broncos’ new offense. Can he approach the former All-Pro’s production?

The throw was beautiful, but the catch was just as glamorous.

During an intense round of 11-on-11 at Broncos training camp, quarterback Russell Wilson glanced down the sideline to see wide receiver Courtland Sutton attempting to create separation from cornerback Pat Surtain II on a go-route. When Sutton beat out his All-Pro teammate by an inch, Wilson threw a pretty spiral to the sixth-year veteran, who corralled the ball with two hands.

At that moment, the 2019 version of Sutton, who recorded 1,112 receiving yards and went to the Pro Bowl, had reemerged.

Sutton spent the offseason working on his body to return to the player he was four seasons ago.
