Some fans didn’t even know the name of Julius Thomas before Thursday Night’s game, but the Denver Broncos tight end has made sure that everyone should take notice. After a 110-yard, 2 touchdown performance to open the season in front of all NFL fans, it was hard not to see what he was doing on the field.

Peyton Manning loves having the weapon on his sideline.

“I am not sure how they will answer it, or if they will, but it will be interesting to see how teams play Julius all season,” Manning said, via the Broncos’ official website. “He is a big guy, he definitely will make teams have a conversation, and that is what you want.”

Peyton has a ton of options in the passing game. The Broncos signed Wes Welker in the offseason. They already had Demayrius Thomas and Eric Decker also. There are a lot of opportunities for receptions with the Broncos. They have the right quarterback throwing them the football.

The world better take notice on Julius Thomas. He is a player that the rest of the league will need to think about as they gameplan for the Broncos. He is another weapon.
