Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton was voted a Pro Bowl alternate this year after a breakout second season in the NFL. Most fans likely voted for him based on his 72-catch, 1,112-yard season.
The league’s players and coaches also noticed and recognized Sutton’s brilliant blocking. Last weekend, the NFL’s “Checkdown” Instagram page shared footage of Sutton blocking during the 2019 season:
Sutton plans to improve this offseason for an even bigger 2020.
“The only way you get [better] is work,” Sutton said on Dec. 29 after Denver’s season finale. “It doesn’t just happen. You just kind of have to go put the work in like I did last offseason and continue to grow, continue to become a better version of myself. Ultimately, the goal is continuing to improve on my craft and continue to improve on adding to my arsenal of weapons that I have and just growing.”
Sutton was selected by the Broncos in the second round of the 2018 NFL draft out of SMU. Over the last two seasons, he has caught 114 passes for 1,816 yards and 10 touchdowns. Sutton’s blocking for teammates has led to plenty of yards and touchdowns as well.
