NFL Trade Rumors
Hall of Fame CB Champ Bailey said that current Broncos CB Patrick Surtain is “on a Hall of Fame path.”
“I mean, it means a lot, especially coming from a guy like him who’s done that in a high-level,” Surtain said of the comments. “When you get respect from your peers, that’s the highest honor you could get. It means a lot coming from him specifically.”
Surtain also commented on the chances that he could win the Defensive Player of the Year Award.
“Shoot man, it’d mean a lot,” Surtain added. “Especially knowing that the margin is pretty slim for cornerbacks to win it, but yeah, it’d be a huge honor. It was something that I worked for. It was a big goal of mine to reach that at the end of the year so it’ll definitely be a huge honor to add to my accolade sheet.”

I never really think about my legacy; I think about all the guys that I’ve played with and how they’ve kind of left their imprint on this team and I want us to be remembered for that.”
Mahomes also mentioned that he doesn’t take the team’s role as villains around the league too seriously.
“I don’t even think it’s embracing being in the villains,” Mahomes continued. *“We embrace who we are, and we believe we play the game the right way. We believe that we play with a lot of heart and a lot of passion for the game and then we win football games. If winning football games makes you a villain, we’re gonna keep going out there and doing it. It’s all fun because I was that guy. I was a Cowboys fan growing up, and I used to...
