McCarthy adjusts to NFL life

Denver Broncos rookie safety Kyle McCarthy says getting used to the higher altitude of Colorado is a challenge,

“Absolutely, it was a big adjustment, way more than I thought it was going to be,” said McCarthy at Tuesday’s United Way Champions Among Us banquet at Antone’s banquet Center. McCarthy and Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini were the banquet speakers.

McCarthy, who played for Notre Dame then went undrafted in April’s NFL draft, signed a free-agent contract with the Broncos.
