Because it’s Julian Edelman, naturally, there’s a catch. John Matocha hasn’t played receiver before. Like, anywhere.
“Never,” the venerated ex-Mines quarterback and NCAA all-time leader in total touchdowns told me Monday. “When I heard the comparisons of me to Edelman, I was a little surprised, because I’ve never played receiver. I definitely see myself as a quarterback.
“But if an NFL team says I should, I will never say no.”
Look, if the Broncos ask him to cover punts, he’s game.
Nuggets coach Michael Malone attributed Jamal Murray’s left calf strain to a specific moment during Game 4 between the Nuggets and Lakers, but he also indicated Monday that Murray might have already been dealing with an injury.
“I think it was one movement that kind of worsened the calf,” Malone said before Game 5 of the first-round series at Ball Arena.
With about eight minutes remaining in the fourth quarter Saturday night in Los Angeles, Murray appeared to reach for his calf after attempting a jump shot.

After nearly a year and a half in Colorado, Deion Sanders has yet to visit the hot springs in Glenwood Springs, and it’s certainly on his list.

A starter for much of the 2023 season, Omarion Cooper got lost in the shuffle this spring.
Now, he’s looking for a new home.
On Monday, the senior defensive back put his name into the NCAA transfer portal, as did walk-on receiver Kendal Stewart.
Cooper transferred to CU last year after playing two seasons at Florida State.
Colorado has found its central big man. And head coach Tad Boyle hopes the Buffaloes have uncovered a diamond in the rough.
On Monday, Boyle’s Buffs received their third frontcourt transfer commitment of the spring, landing 6-foot-10 center Elijah Malone out of Grace College, an NAIA program in north central Indiana.
Malone was named the 2023-24 NAIA player of the year after leading Grace to a 34-2 record in a season that ended in the NAIA semifinals.
