Courtland Sutton feels ‘juice is just different’ with Russell Wilson on Broncos: ‘Standards are being risen’

The postseason has alluded the Denver Broncos since the franchise won Super Bowl 50 — back when Peyton Manning was the quarterback. Denver has missed the playoffs for six consecutive years, not even having a .500 season since 2016.

Expectations have clearly changed since Russell Wilson was traded to Denver, which is expected when a franchise acquires a quarterback who has the most wins through his first 10 seasons (113 combined in regular season and postseason) in NFL history. Courtland Sutton already feels a different vibe in the Broncos locker room since Wilson’s arrival. 

“I think that you all can feel it, we all can feel it, the juice is just different,” Sutton said at Broncos minicamp Tuesday, via The Fan 104.3 FM. “I wasn’t around when Peyton (Manning) was here, but from what I’m hearing the juice and the energy is pretty similar. Knowing that we have a guy that has been at the top of that mountain before.

“I think everyone in the building understands the expectations, that standards are being risen.”
