ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- So, what’d you do Sunday?

For two Denver-area boys, that question will be the jumping off point for a can-you-believe-it story about their morning trip to Denver Broncos training camp.

Jet Yang (11 years old) and Eric Vue (12) were sitting in the crowd at the team’s morning practice -- Yang in a Demaryius Thomas jersey, Vue in a Peyton Manning jersey -- when a future Hall of Fame quarterback strolled over and pointed at the two boys.

“He just pointed right at us," a still-somewhat-stunned Vue said.

With the Broncos going through a special-teams drill on one field, Manning and the other quarterbacks were on the other field, getting ready to toss some passes in the scoring zone to stay loose.

Manning put the two boys in the receiver line and they took several turns as Manning threw some fade routes into the end zone. With every throw to the boys, the crowd at that end of the field erupted with the catches and groaned in unison at the close calls.

At one point Thomas even lined up as a defender for a throw, giving Yang some advice just before the snap.

“It was great," Manning said following practice. “I’m just glad they caught them, some good work there."

Vue said he doesn’t play organized football, but Yang said he just started playing youth football this year in Broomfield. Asked whether he wants to be a receiver, Vue said with a smile: “I’m hoping to be a running back, but maybe now receiver."
