MSTShareTweetShareShareDemaryius Thomas arrested for vehicular assault after rollover crashFormer Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas was arrested and is in custody following his rollover car accident on February 16th. The accident happened after midnight on Auraria Parkway when he lost control of the vehicle, according to Denver police. Demaryius Thomas Arrested For Vehicular Assault In Denver Crash | TMZ.comThere were two passengers in Thomas’ vehicle, a man and a woman. All three wound up in the hospital, with one in serious condition, police said. A witness speaking to TMZ Sports reported that Thomas seemed to be fine, other than a “hellacious knot” on his head.Thomas had prior driving related incidents in 2012. A careless driving charge was dismissed in August 2012, and he plead guilty to driving an unsafe vehicle in December 2012.Traded from the Denver Broncos during the 2018 season and recently released by the Texans Bradley Chubb Jersey , the 31-year-old Thomas is recovering from a torn Achilles. Even if he avoids jail time, this incident hurts whatever interest teams have in the nine-year veteran.Thomas is due in court Thursday, according to reports. More on this story as it develops. Benjamin Allbright joined the 1st and 10 @ 10 crew on Monday to talk Senior Bowl and quarterbacks.And guess what?No one still knows what John Elway and his new coaching staff will do at quarterback this offseason, but Allbright thinks Elway and Co. did like what they saw from their favorite college prospect so far - Drew Lock.Listen to "Benjamin Allbright on 1st & 10 01-28-19" on Spreaker.“They got answers they liked in Mobile,” Allbright said, adding that there’s no clear picture on whether this will be their guy in the first round (if he’s even available to the Broncos). “They’re definitely excited about him. ...He has tools they like - he’s got a big arm, got athleticism Derek Wolfe Jersey , throws well on the run. Plus there’s leadership aspect. Seeing him in the press conferences where he was an absolute star; he had the crowd mesmerized during those pressers and that’s just being a leader.”Allbright added that “the leadership aspect” is key for Elway too.“You can tell if a guy can throw in 20 or 30 throws, but is this guy a fit for your team? Is he a fit for the league? Or is he a Jay Cutler?”Although that comment didn’t get a laugh out of Ryan Edwards, Andrew Mason or Steve Atwater, I thought it was funny - and a good question.And it comes primarily from the one-on-one interviews and the observations on the sideline too.“All the tape and box-score scouting in the world doesn’t tell you what kind of person these guys are - are they a guy who aggressively pursues more knowledge, are they a guy who wants to hone his craft, or a guy who wants to sit at home and play video games all day,” Allbright said Chris Harris Jersey , adding it “wasn’t a shot at anyone in particular” but was another piece to finding out the “character” of the incoming players. “What motivates them? Do they want to be a legacy? Do they want to be a winner? Or do they want to collect a paycheck?” Allbright said.As for Lock’s potential to be a starter for the Broncos, Allbright still thinks the former Mizzou QB needs to clean up his footwork, but he believes the former Tiger could come in midway through a season if the team were out of contention or the starting QB were hurt.That’s not a glowing endorsement, but Allbright added that “a competent quarterbacks coach” could “get him nailed down pretty quick.” If the Broncos don’t go QB in the first round - or just looking ahead to who the Broncos might be interested in the second and third rounds - Allbright did list a few interesting players he thinks Elway may take a long look at, including: Mock away!Bonus info - Atwater to the HOF!Allbright was also asked to make a case for Steve Atwater deserving the Hall of Fame, and the former pro scout said it is important the Broncos fans and media re-emphasize that the Hall of Fame is about telling the story of the NFL - and if there is an iconic play that is used to do that time and again it’s “The Hit” on Christian Okoye. So how can the player who embodies what the NFL is not be in the Hall of Fame? Exactly.
