No. 2 – Ryan Harris
Back in May, Gary Kubiak asked Harris to get off his couch and come play right tackle for his football team after it lost an All-Pro left tackle to injury and had to shuffle the line. Harris obliged.
Last week, Kubiak asked Harris to move to left tackle after the replacement for his All-Pro also went down with an injury. Harris, again, obliged.
Harris isn’t an All-Pro, or even a Pro Bowl-caliber tackle. But he’s playing his heart out for Gary Kubiak and Peyton Manning. Broncos fans are seeing signs of the player they had in 2008 and ’09 before injuries started to derail his career.
Harris’ rebirth in Denver has been wonderful to watch. As the line continues to jell and improve with each game, Broncos fans can credit much of that to Harris.
