Broncos star rocks amazing Jordan cleats at training camp
Pat Surtain is officially an ambassador of the Jordan brand. Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton is the only coach in the NFL with an endorsement deal with Michael Jordan, and after Surtain won the Defensive Player of the Year award last season, Payton told his star cornerback it was time to get PS2 a Jordan deal of his own. Surtain officially joined the brand last month, just in time to rock some amazing cleats at training camp: 'I'm pretty excited," Surtain said Tuesday when asked about becoming a Jordan athlete. "It was a cool experience meeting 'M.J.' himself. It was pretty dope. I feel like that whole brand, what they have in order, is a very close group and the brand [has] a family-first aspect. I'm glad to be a part of the Jordan brand. I'm looking forward to it.' The cornerback still hasn't quite caught up to his coach's level yet. 'We're going to be competing on the field, even though I know he has the exclusive [Eddie] Jones [sneakers] already," Surtain quipped. "I still have some catching up to do.'

Broncos star to wear new cleats after landing deal with Michael Jordan
It looks like Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton kept his word. Payton, the only NFL coach sponsored by Michael Jordan's clothing brand, loves to show off his snazzy kicks on the sideline of Broncos games and practices, and his players take notice. It appears that Payton may have now helped reward one of his best players with a Jordan deal of their own. After star cornerback Pat Surtain won the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year award following the 2024 season, Payton quipped, "I think we may be able to get you into the Jordan shoes now." Five months later, Surtain shared a photo on his Instagram story smoking a cigar with Jordan. Brandon Krisztal of Guerilla Sports explained on Twitter/X that PS2 is the latest NFL player to land an endorsement deal with Jordan's brand: After Payton's comments earlier this year, it seems fair to assume that the coach helped his player land the deal. Fans will likely get to see PS2 wearing Air Jordan Cleats for the first time when Denver begins training camp on July 25. Social: Follow Broncos Wire on Facebook and Twitter/X!

Broncos CB Pat Surtain talks Nick Saban and more on Johnny Manziel's podcast
Nick Saban is perhaps the greatest college football coach of his era and, next to current University of North Carolina head coach Bill Belichick, one of the greatest football coaches ever. But before he became the master of the sidelines, he was a defensive back coach by trade: coaching defensive backs from 1978-1989 at the likes of Ohio State, Navy & Michigan State. So it is no surprise that he routinely kept his hands and eyes on the defensive backs while at Alabama. Denver Broncos cornerback and reigning Defensive Player of the Year Pat Surtain is a product of Nick Saban's legendary reign at Alabama, and while sitting down with college football legend Johnny Manziel, PS2 spoke on what it was like for Saban to spend time coaching defensive backs at the college level. Surtain told stories about how Saban held his players accountable, from the meeting room to the practice field, what it was like to play against future pros in practice (Devonta Smith), and how they made it easier to play against SEC competition. Listen to that and more in the interview below. This article originally appeared on Broncos Wire: NFL: Pat Surtain talks Nick Saban and more on Johnny Manziel's podcast

Sauce Gardner's contract makes Pat Surtain look like an insane bargain for Broncos
When the Denver Broncos gave cornerback Pat Surtain a massive four-year, $96 million contract extension last September, it made him the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history. That was short-lived. Not long after PS2 signed a deal that averaged $24 million per season, Jalen Ramsey got a contract that averaged $24.1M. Later, Jaycee Horn got $25M. Then Derek Stingley took the market to another level with $30M. Advertisement The latest big cornerback extension has gone to Sauce Gardner of the New York Jets. He'll get $120.4 million over four years, an average of $30.1M, making him the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL. So, just ten months after becoming the highest-paid ever at his position, Surtain now ranks fifth among cornerbacks in terms of average salary. His contract looks like a remarkable bargain for the Broncos. Highest-paid NFL cornerbacks (APY) Sauce Gardner: $30.1M Derek Stingley.: $30M Jaycee Horn: $25M Jalen Ramsey: $24.1M Patrick Surtain: $24M Surtain, who won the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year award in 2024, is widely considered the best cornerback in the league. If the CB market continues trending this way, Denver might have to revisit PS2's contract well before it's set to expire in 2030. Less than a year after getting a massive extension, Surtain now appears to be underpaid. Advertisement Social: Follow Broncos Wire on Facebook and Twitter/X!
