Denver Broncos tight end Julius Thomas would like to make something clear: Football isn’t really that easy, contrary to exclamation during last Sunday’s win over the New York Jets. Thomas walked back his words on Wednesday.

From there he tacked on some verbiage about how things have to go right, depending on his teammates to make things happen, the risk of being confident, all that practice that goes into it and a few other of the usual football cliches.

The guy does have a record nine touchdown catches through six weeks, so he’s doing something right.
