Everyone appreciated the difficulty of the situation Kendall Hinton was plunged into, including his opponents from the New Orleans Saints. The practice team wide receiver and former Wake Forest passer woke up this weekend to learn he was going to start at the Denver Broncos quarterback without taking a single shot at the training after the entire Denver depth chart was wiped out by COVID-19.
No, his numbers weren’t impressive. He only went 1 of 9 as a passer for 13 yards, adding 7 rushing yards on a pair of carries. But there aren’t many people who can step into a game and even complete an assist in such a short time against such a solid defense, which Saints captains Cameron Jordan and Demario Davis found commendable:
Hellish situation to be in… No shade at all… RESPECT breh https://t.co/n4HUg4wQu9

Lots of respect for this guy. He handled this situation like a real pro. I can only imagine the range of emotions and mental download he went through in 24 hours. #Greet https://t.co/io34jS5rJr
