http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...e-with-peyton/The Broncos spent a second-round draft pick on wide receiver Cody Latimer last season, and they had little to show for it: Latimer ended his rookie season with two catches for 23 yards. Latimer now says he wasn’t ready for the mental side of the NFL game.
Latimer tells the Denver Post that he struggled with learning the offense, and particularly learning to adjust on the fly when Peyton Manning would change plays at the line of scrimmage.
“It took me too long to actually catch on,” Latimer said. “I was in the playbook, but I could have done even more. When I actually got it, it was too late. It was just way different [than college]. I would know the play, then Peyton would change it. Then I’d get to thinking too much and play slower.”
