Devontae Booker didn't wait to get settled in with the Denver Broncos before making a big statement.
At the NFLPA Rookie Premiere last week Booker said both that he wasn't with the Broncos to "carry someone's pads" and that he was there "to take someone's job."
The former Utah running back who was drafted in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL draft didn't offend Broncos running back C.J. Anderson or head coach Gary Kubiak.
Anderson, who started for Denver last year, applauded Booker's competitive spirit. Kubiak used Booker's attitude as an example for other newcomers to follow, but stressed the importance of backing up confidence with work.
