Melvin Gordon is entering his first season with the Denver Broncos and has discovered the difficulty of adjusting to the vastly different altitude.
"I'm struggling a little bit, I'm struggling a up here little bit with the altitude,'' Gordon said. "What I keep hearing is when we play other places, we won't even get tired so I'm looking forward to that.''
Gordon has essentially split the plays with Phillip Lindsey with the starting offense in camp's early going.
"Right now it's tough, trying to finish downfield, and things like that," Gordon said. "It's real dry, I'm trying to drink water every second, lips are dry. That's the biggest adjustment, working all offseason and coming here and still feeling like you're not in shape because of the altitude."
