It comes as no surprise that the Broncos are picking up the two-time Pro Bowler's fifth-year option. Although the Broncos are looking to add pieces on both sides of the ball, Surtain II remains a tough matchup for opposing wide receivers.

"His physical traits [are impressive]," Payton said. "He’s long & he’s built [as a] prototype for what you’re looking for in that position. He’s got great makeup, he’s tough, he’s smart & the ball finds him. He’s got good ball skills." Surtain will look to continue his strong shutdown play in the Broncos secondary this season.

Surtain missed practice early in the week but trended in the right direction with limited and full participations to close out the week.
