ANDGLENDALE, Ariz. — If he talked more, more people might know Rick Dennison is one of the NFL's smartest men.
Then again, the fact Dennison doesn't talk much is just one reason he's so smart.
There are others. His father was the University of Montana's president for 20 years, so smarts is in Dennison's blood. While playing tight end at Colorado State, Dennison, 56, got his master's degree in engineering.
He was smart enough to put all that education aside and pick up the linebacker position for the Broncos from 1982-90.

Even if Manning comes back for his fourth Broncos season as expected, he won't be bringing along the type of mobility preferred in Kubiak's offensive system.
"You know, Matt Schaub didn't either, and he was able to do it," Dennison said about the former Texans quarterback. "There's enough variety in the offense that we'll figure it out. You always want to work to the players' strengths."
