Great day 2 summary from Cecil Lammey on twitter (very detailed - tweets below) Follow him at @cecillammey

#broncos Tebow looked better today, good but not great, seemed to be throwing naturally instead of aiming, took some chances downfield
#broncos tebow had a decent day passing but did throw at least 1 pick, some WRs really let him down too
Tebow threaded the needle between two defenders but D'Andre Goodwin dropped the pass, good to see Tebow take the chance and not checkdown
I liked Tebow's footwork today, very precise and he spun the ball better because of it, first part of throwing starts in your legs
#broncos QB Orton still looked focused, throwing with zip although timing was a little off today, some passes low and behind WRs
one of the low passes from #broncos QB Orton was picked off by Von Miller...a GREAT play where he scooped the ball with two hands
Miller got up and started to run with the football and the crowd at #dovevalley erupted in applause, a great play, great reactions/hands
Brady Quinn looked more confident running the offense and continued his strong performance in #broncos training camp, making the most of it
Adam Weber looks decent, but stares down receivers too much and doesn't have the arm strength to throw across the field #broncos
okay, on to the #broncos RBs Jeremiah Johnson with another strong day, quick initial burst, very decisive and explodes out of cuts
Johnson not overly fast but gets to top speed in a hurry and doesn't lose that speed when he changes direction, anticipation good, vision 2
Loved Brandon Minor when he arrived at Michigan with Kevin Grady, however not standing out at #broncos training camp
Minor too slow, too indecisive, and didn't press edge to create cutback lane on outside run, not going to happen for him...moving on...
Lance Ball is a great guy but average instincts, gets swallowed up by defense, low center of gravity tho and good balance
back to Jeremiah Johnson quickly, looked good on wheel routes out of the backfield, looks pass in, turns up quickly, good burst 2
Knowshon Moreno had a better day at #broncos camp - looked good catching passes in drills and scrimmage
Moreno was getting separation on routes and did a good job of looking passes in, have no issues with him as a receiver...runner a diff story
reading multiple defenders too much for Moreno's processor as a runner, one on one in open field a diff story, good rec out of backfield
on to the WRs... #broncos Brandon Lloyd is the real deal (again) guy just makes plays, diff catches seem routine for him, another grt day
I liked what I saw from Eddie Royal today... adjusted to poorly thrown pass from Orton in stride, gathered it and turned upfield, good play!
Eddie Royal looked smooth in and out of his breaks, drag routes, crossing routes he ran them all well today - still struggles on jerk routes
Royal had good timing with Quinn today, better than he did with Orton, still made plays on poorly thrown passes from 8
Eric Decker had a good day, could have had a better day, but ran a wrong route and was chewed out by Orton, caused pass to fall incomplete
Yes, Decker doesn't get amazing separation but he catches every contested pass thrown his way, uses frame to his advantage
Decker has good concentration and strong hands to gather passes when ball is getting swiped at, if u want 2 knock it away u better b serious
Decker makes a good target near the sideline and can 'dot the i' with his feet to stay inbounds, holds ball high and away from body
Decker has downfield skills too and is swifter than some think, deceptive speed for sure
quick defense notes before I get to Julius Thomas #manlove - Champ picked off 8 covering Lloyd crowd went wild
I like what I've seen from #broncos DT/DE Jeremy Jarmon - very athletic, strong punch, quick off the ball, potential is there
Okay, time for Julius Thomas notes - saw him at Shrine Game practices in Orlando earlier this year and he was the best TE at the game IMO
Talked to Julius Thomas at the Combine in Indy, great interview, smart kid, and funny - could jump over a Kia to dunk a basketball LOL
#broncos don't need to add a move TE as Thomas has Antonio Gates like upside, very happy the team did their homework & recognized his talent
Thomas had a great day of practice today, #broncos fans watch 80 go and you're in for a treat, stands out first because of his size
Julius Thomas is big but soooo smooth as an athlete, can get upfield in a hurry, knows how to use his frame to 'box out' defenders
Thomas creates mismatches on the field because he's too big for safeties to cover and too fast for linebackers 2 cover #broncos got a good 1
Julius Thomas looks and plays like a supersized WR, willing blocker that needs to develop that skill set if he's going to be all around guy
best play of the day from #broncos camp ? Other than Von Miller scooping INT and return I would say Julius Thomas play, desc up next
Crowd was oohing and aaahing after Thomas broke off a double move, head fake inside, and hauled in deep pass down sideline - great play!
