Gary Kubiak said last week that Cody Latimer is playing faster and is "on his way" to contributing significantly to the Denver Broncos' offense.

The Broncos drafted the receiver in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

"I think he's on his way to doing that, he's behind two great players," Kubiak said of Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders.

"And my position with him has always been 'Cody, guys at your position do one of two things, some guys sit there and say 'Heck, I'm not going to pass up those two great guys' or some guys say 'I'm going to be better',' and he's taken the working approach to it. Now it's got to transfer to the field. I think Cody mentally having a better understanding of the big picture offensively of what you're trying to do his job, it's allowing his talents to take over more."
