Ex-Penn State Football WR K.J. Hamler goes off for Denver Broncos (VIDEO)

Former Penn State Football wide receiver K.J. Hamler had an explosive performance Sunday for the Denver Broncos

Former Penn State Football wide receiver, and Denver Broncos rookie K.J. Hamler had the most dominant showing of his young career Sunday afternoon against the Carolina Panthers.

Hamler, chosen by the Broncos in the second-round of April’s 2020 NFL Draft, caught two passes for a career-high 86 yards and took both to the house for touchdowns.

You can check out video of Hamler’s touchdowns below:

"“The first touchdown, we kind of audibled the play a little bit,” Hamler revealed post-game, via Sports Illustrated. “Drew gave me a certain look and told me to run the nine ball (deep vertical route). I just took my release off the line, ducked my head and beat him with speed. Next thing I know the ball’s in the air.”"

Hamler entered Sunday’s game with just 27 receptions for 291 yards and a touchdown, but was instrumental in Denver’s 32-27 game on Sunday and seems to be finally carving out a niche in offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur’s aerial attack.

"“I applaud Coach Pat for just staying true today,” Hamler said, via Sports Illustrated. “I think we all played, and all coached a complete game today. We had some ups and downs, of course, that’s football, that’s how the game goes. I appreciate Coach Pat for calling that play.”"
