DENVER — The Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight against Conor McGregor was earning the lion's share of attention — and cheers — in the locker rooms Saturday night at Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium, minutes after the Denver Broncos beat the Green Bay Packers 20-17 in preseason play.
That allowed players like Garett Bolles, Jamaal Williams and Devante Mays to quietly go about their business, answering a handful of reporters' questions as they packed up for the night.
Soon enough, these three rookies could be earning their share of cheers. How they respond to the learning curve at the NFL level and apply it in their development is key.
