And the Broncos of 2020 weren t particularly good at either one of those things.
Rick Gosselin, a long-time NFL writer and columnist, annually ranks special teams play across the league. The rankings consider almost two dozen categories and have become must-reads for every special teams coach. The Broncos haven t finished above 19th in those rankings in any of the past five seasons and haven t finished in the top 10 since their Super Bowl season of 2015.
Paton, including when he signed running back Mike Boone in free agency, has said multiple times this offseason, special teams would be a priority. We realize we lacked in special teams last year, Paton said. We need guys who can cover and block and take pride in special teams. All of these players that we drafted will hopefully take special teams seriously.

For the second time under Head Coach Brian Flores and General Manager Chris Grier s tenure together, the Miami Dolphins utilized a seventh-round draft pick on a running back.
With the 244th pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, the Dolphins chose Gerrid Doaks out of Cincinnati.

Iâm not alone. When I used Facebook to whine about a bad sleep night, the comments were plentiful and sympathetic.
Dave Bronstetter is a retired CBC broadcaster whose career included anchoring television news and getting up before the crack of dawn to work as host of a radio morning show. Like me, he has sleep issues. Because the pandemic limits human contact, I asked Bronstetter to email me a few reflections on the elusive good nightâs slumber.
