Three things you need to know about the Broncos.

1. Teammates are raving about Peyton Manning’s arm. Now, they should be expected to say that, of course. It is training camp, after all, when everyone is ready and everything is perfect. But … the way last season ended for Manning, when his body failed him and his passes wobbled and fell short of their intended targets, it seemed fair to wonder if he would retire, or at least if he was thinking seriously about retirement, or should have been. But Manning has taken every fourth day off this camp, Thursday included. And that rest, combined with a typical offseason training regimen and a new head coach in Gary Kubiak, has the Broncos describing Manning’s throws with a word not often associated with a 39-year-old quarterback – zip. “He has a lot more zip,” said cornerback Aqib. “Chris Harris (Jr.) and I were just talking about that. He’s throwing that thing around this camp. He’s throwing comebacks from the opposite hash.”

“His balls are just so perfect right now,” Harris added. “When you got to take a pay cut, anything like that, that’s going to motivate you. You definitely know he’s motivated, and everybody is counting him out after what he’s done. Then he had the Tom Brady thing and what he said. So he has a chip on his shoulder, too.”

That’s how the Broncos described Manning. As the player he has always been but with more of an edge.
