Demaryius Thomas selected for Denver Broncos Ring of Fame
The Denver Broncos have announced that the late Demaryius Thomas has been elected to the team's Ring of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
Thomas spent 8-plus seasons with the Broncos after being drafted in the first round of the 2010 NFL draft.
One of the best receivers in Broncos history, Thomas made 5 Pro Bowls and was a member of the Super Bowl 50 championship team.
He holds numerous Broncos records including receiving yards in a regular season (1,619 in 2014) and receiving touchdowns in a season (14 in 2013).
His impact wasn't just felt on the gridiron but also in the lockerroom and Denver community. Thomas was a fan favorite and one of the most beloved players in franchise history.
In 2021, Thomas was found unconscious in his home of Roswell, Georgia and was later pronounced dead. The cause of death was believed to be seizures.
"Demaryius Thomas' election to the Denver Broncos Ring of Fame - in his first year of eligibility - is a testament to the indelible mark he left on our organization and community," team owners Greg and Carrie Penner said in a statement. "While we wish D-T was with us to celebrate this special moment, we look forward to honoring Demaryius along side his Super Bowl 50 teammates during an unforgettable alumni weekend."

Caleb Williams shares homework assignments from Ben Johnson
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams knows he's got a lot of teaching and coaching coming from his new head coach Ben Johnson, and he's got homework on top of it all. Following his hiring back in January, Johnson discussed at length his plans to rebuild Williams from scratch and mold him into a winning, productive, franchise-quarterback. And he's wasted no time by giving him assignments to work on heading into training camp. Williams recently revealed his homework from his new head coach, and there wasn't just one of them. "Part of the homework is, some of it was footwork," Williams said. "Some of it was not necessarily homework but help and guideline the offseason. Get through the playbook, 30 minutes, 40 minutes, an hour each day, there's 24 hours a day, if you can't give up an hour or 30 minutes a day for the playbook, you probably shouldn't be in this position. It's just small things like that. Homework wise, it was mainly the footwork and some left, kind of short throws that I was missing, so I worked on those every single day that I threw. I also worked on my footwork every single day I was out there." Williams is clearly taking his new head coach very seriously and is buying in early on in the system for what they're trying to build together in their first year. The adjustments may come with some woes early on, but if Williams continues to put in the work, there should be significant improvements in his game throughout his sophomore season.
