[Broncos] Broncos Rookie TE Richard Quinn Impresses Coach With Versatility

In college, the 6-foot-4 tight end established himself as a standout blocker. Head Coach Josh McDaniels saw something else when selecting him in the 2009 NFL Draft: soft hands. "He didn't catch a lot of balls at (the University of) North Carolina, but that wasn't because he can't catch," McDaniels said. "They didn't use him that way very much in their system, in their scheme, but he showed very good hands during the course of the spring." - "He can catch the ball, he's got soft hands, we can move him, and he certainly can handle his own on the line as a blocker," McDaniels said. "But when you're going to use two and three tight end packages during the course of the season, you'd love to have three guys that you feel good about. To have three guys that can run block, pass block, catch passes in the passing game and make an impact at more than one thing, I think that's very valuable to us."

Just another thing McDipshit is doing wrong. You don't justify the pick, that makes you seem unsure that you picked him. Ask Cam Cameron about that.

broncos should just have a 3 TE formation every play since they have 3 good TEs now :L
