If you want to know what really makes Steve Atwater a Hall of Famer Courtland Sutton Jersey White , it is his championship drive, which was obvious from day one. Atwater began his Denver Broncos career with a two-interception game against the then Los Angeles Raiders in the third game of his rookie season.His first interception came early on, and his second was one that helped seal the win for the Broncos. In a career filled with highlights in big moments, and big hits on the brightest stage, Atwater showed early on what he was going to bring to the Broncos. He talked about that and his HOF candidacy on the MHR Radio Podcast.He showed he would be a great player from the start, but when Ryan Edwards joined the MHR Radio Podcast, he was able to put into words what made Atwater a true champion from the start. Ryan called him a sponge when he came into the league.Atwater joined a defense that was already pretty good. Players like Karl Mecklenburg, Simon Fletcher Joe Flacco Jersey , and Dennis Smith had been a big part of the Bronco success in the 1980s. Atwater wanted to be great, and was willing to do what it took, on the field and off. He was an immediate impact player, and a true champion from the start. a chance to unseat Joe Flacco as the starter. At least not yet.Flacco will get all the reps with the first-string offense at Organized Team Activities, head coach Vic Fangio said today.That’s not a big surprise. Although Lock may be groomed as the starter one day, the Day One starter is expected to be Flacco. And the whole first-string offense is likely to get better work in if Flacco is running the show.Somewhat surprising is that Fangio said there’s no real pecking order among Lock and the other two quarterbacks on the roster, Kevin Hogan and undrafted rookie Brett Rypien. Instead, Fangio said those three will all be thrown into second-string and third-string reps.“We’ve got open competition after [Flacco] Bradley Chubb Jersey White ,” Fangio said. “We’ll randomly play those guys with the twos and the threes when we do our reps.”Realistically, it’s not an “open competition” in the sense that all three quarterbacks have an equal chance to make the roster. Lock, as a second-round pick, is assured a roster spot, while Hogan and Rypien are competing to make the team. But while Lock is sure to make the team, he’s sure to start the season as Flacco’s backup.
