"Derek Thompson‏@DerekThompson_710m

Just to clear things up, I've been invited to the Denver Broncos mini camp. Thankful for the opportunity and can't wait to compete! QBs work"

[NT03]

Thanks

If nothing else, what a great life experience for a QB to get to work around someone like Peyton Manning. But here's hoping that he's able to make the team.

Will Peyton be at the rookie mini camp?

Will Peyton be at the rookie mini camp?

Knowing Peyton he probably will but not participating. Just observing and teaching.

That's what I was thinking.

Congrats, DT!

[golfingomez]

well peyton... you had a good run...

[DentonAmerica]

Its a tryout, he did not sign.

Apparently, he's already made a great impression as the franchise has decided to name the team after him...

One thing we also know, Mean Green Family member Jeff Rodgers will be there since most of the rookies will be expected to join his special teams units if they make the team. Hopefully, he helps DT make the right impression with the right people.

Following in the steps of Steve Ramsey?

Broncos are a LOT better than the team Ramsey joined. Best wishes to DT.

Denver Thompson sounds like a character from a Vice Vaughn movie.

Now we just need a whole lot more people to talk about how he'll never make it, since proving people wrong seems to be his big motivator.

He'll never make it, he isn't even passing in the picture! [Derek prints, puts on bulletin board]

He couldn't demand number 7 in Denver? Must not have been wearing his HOD watch when they were assigning jerseys

I'm not sure I get the Buick label they've given him. I mean, he didn't even play during the Dickey era.

We could just keep going, couldn't we? "Idiots can't even spell 'Buck' right, so why did they give him the nickname?"
