To better support his kid gunslinger, Shanahan signed former Tennessee Titans 1,200-yard running back Travis Henry, former New England Patriots tight end Daniel Graham and former Indianapolis Colts slot receiver Brandon Stokley... It helps that Stokley played with Manning and Graham with Brady. Both have offered subtle, helpful tweaks to routes based on how Manning and Brady successfully attacked defenses.
"Daniel and Brandon both offer advice: 'You might want to run this a little deeper. This is how Peyton or Tom Brady might do something,'" Cutler says. "They've been around some really great quarterbacks, and it helps make my job easier.. Having Travis, Daniel and Brandon here, they simplify things for me. They take a lot of guesswork out of my job. I just have to get the ball into their hands."
