Sean Payton says he was probably guilty of marking his territory in first season with Broncos
When Sean Payton joined the Denver Broncos last year, he quickly made it clear to everyone that it would be his way or the highway. Payton promptly kicked quarterback Russell Wilson’s personal QB coach out of the team’s facility, and he also hinted that he was not a fan of Wilson’s frequent hype posts on social media. “I kind of use this term, ‘A little bit more anonymous donors this season,’” Payton said. “Just know that we’re working, but with a little bit less visibility on social media and all those other things.
