Receiver Competition Is Heating Up
Posted by on August 5, 2011 – 10:19 amIn at least one practice for the last couple days, both head coach Mike Shanahan and offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan have taken a particular interest in the wide receiver drills.

Check out the video below of receivers working on hitch routes with wide receivers coach Keenan McCardell:

It’s still early folks. Very, very early.
