Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland has been working with Houston-based trainer Rischad Whitfield, who goes by “Footwork King” on social media. Cleveland trained with Whitfield leading up to the NFL combine earlier this offseason.
Last week, Whitfield shared a brief clip of Cleveland’s footwork on Twitter.

Cleveland (6-2, 205 pounds) was selected by the Broncos in the seventh round of the NFL Draft. In four seasons at Florida, Cleveland caught 79 passes for 1,271 yards and eight touchdowns.
Cleveland will join a crowded wide receiver room in Denver and he will face long odds to make the 53-man roster. Cleveland is willing to play on special teams, which will help his chances of making the team.
