Broncos WR Brandon Johnson, like Tim Patrick, knows the fight undrafted players face — and now may be asked to fill Patrick’s large shoes

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:23:55 GMT

On the first day after Tim Patrick was lost for the season to a torn left Achilles tendon, the first player who got a chance to replace him in practice has some background similarities.That’s Brandon Johnson who, like Patrick, was an unheralded, undrafted free agent.Patrick in 2017 didn’t hear his name called out of Utah and bounced around in training camps before landing with the Broncos.He spent his first year on and off Denver’s practice squad before carving a role for himself on special teams and in the receiving rotation in his second season.Johnson impressed during training camp a year ago as an undrafted free agent out of Central Florida and likely would have made the initial 53-man roster had he not sustained a high-ankle sprain in Denver’s preseason finale. He was waived, then brought back later in the season. Johnson appeared in seven games (one start) and caught six balls during his rookie season.Now he’s turning heads again in training camp and appears to be in the mix t...

Colorado Republican Party files lawsuits against Secretary of State Jena Griswold, seeking to close primaries

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:23:55 GMT

As part of its chairman’s desire to close its primaries to all but registered Republican voters, the Colorado Republican Party filed a lawsuit against the Secretary of State Jena Griswold in federal court Monday, seeking to invalidate a ballot measure passed by voters in 2016.The suit, filed on behalf of the party by the attorney who represented Donald Trump after his 2020 election loss, is the latest effort by some Colorado Republicans to push back against Proposition 108, which allows unaffiliated voters to participate in parties’ primary elections and help select general election candidates. The suit alleges that the ballot measure “harms (the party) and its members by infringing upon their rights of free speech and association.”A similar suit, filed by a handful of Colorado Republican officials, was dismissed by a federal judge shortly after it was filed in 2022. The same attorney, John Eastman, represented those officials in that case, too. This latest e...
