Now, the next morning there was swelling. But that’s pretty remarkable.” Added Denver rookie quarterback Bo Nix: "If I had to explain Alex in one thing, I would just point that out.
Alex is the type of guy who would tear his ACL on the (eighth) play of the game and go out there and finish the game.” Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White, center, gains yardage against Denver Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton (49) and linebacker Cody Barton (55) during the first half of an NFL football game, in Tampa, Fla. on Sunday, Sept.
