In an effort to limit the spread of COVID-19, many gyms across the United States have closed, at least temporarily. That has left athletes scrambling to find ways to workout, including Broncos running back Melvin Gordon.
“Not every guy has a gym in their house . . . so it’s going to be a lot of pushups and jogging here in a little bit,” Gordon said in an interview with Colin Cowherd last week. “We’re trying to make the best out of what we got but they’re closing everything down, man, it’s crazy.”
Denver inside linebacker Alexander Johnson has made the best of the situation. Johnson is using the great outdoors — and logs — to work out.

Johnson (6-2, 245 pounds) joined the Broncos as an undrafted free agent in 2018. After serving as a backup and practice squad player as a rookie, Johnson emerged as a starter in 2019 and totaled 93 tackles, 1.5 sacks, one interception, two forced fumbles and three pass breakups.
It looks like Johnson is having no trouble finding ways to exercise.
