Denver Broncos wide receiver Michael Bandy has achieved the ultimate milestone in his five-year NFL journey - scoring his first touchdown. The 5-foot-10 dynamo, who has been cut nine times, finally broke the end zone barrier in a 34-26 win over the Green Bay Packers. Bandy's touchdown was a result of Bo Nix's pass, which he expertly caught on an underneath crossing route and took to the sideline for a score. Bandy's emotional response to the moment was palpable, with the 28-year-old admitting he 'blackout[ed]' due to the overwhelming emotion. Despite not being able to recall the exact feeling, he described it as 'every emotion and pretty cool.' Nix and teammate Courtland Sutton were overjoyed for Bandy, chasing him into the end zone and subsequently retrieving the ball to present to him as a memento. Bandy's journey to this point has been nothing short of remarkable. After being cut nine times, he continued to work tirelessly, honing his skills and adapting to different positions. His versatility has been a key factor in his success, with coach Sean Payton praising his ability to fill in at various spots. Payton took pride in seeing Bandy score his first touchdown, acknowledging the 28-year-old's perseverance and dedication. Nix also commended Bandy's determination, saying that his grit and attitude have inspired the team. 'For Michael, it's just awesome to see,' Nix said. 'He's had a very long road, a lot of ups and downs, but he continues to do it with a smile on his face.' Bandy's story serves as a testament to the power of hard work and resilience in achieving one's goals.
