Corey Oates faced criticism over demotion but proved himself in recent Broncos games.
Broncos winger Corey Oates copped a brutal hammering over his recent demotion, but the seasoned veteran gave as good as he got in a classic verbal clash with Fletch and Hindy on a recent segment.
The 29-year-old, known for his lightning speed on the field, found himself on the sidelines at the beginning of the season as young gun Deine Mariner stepped into the spotlight.
However, Oates fought his way back onto the bench for the Broncos' last two games, showing he still has plenty of gas left in the tank.
