Home is where the heart is. For linebacker Dre Greenlaw, that certainly was not with the Denver Broncos.<\/a><\/p>\n

Greenlaw spent last season with the Broncos after signing a three-year, $31.5 million contract, but was cut almost a year later. Greenlaw then returned to the San Francisco 49ers<\/a>, where he spent the first six years of his career, on a one-year deal. While it wasn\u2019t the main reason Greenlaw left Denver, he certainly won\u2019t miss the altitude of the Mile High City.<\/p>\n

“F\u2014ing altitude,” Greenlaw told The Athletic.<\/a> “My mouth\u2019s dry, my nose is dry, I can\u2019t sleep. \u2026 I\u2019m fighting demons left and right.”<\/p>\n

“I tell you, it\u2019s different being here in California<\/a>,” Greenlaw said. “This fresh air, bro, it makes a difference. You feel like you can run all day out here.”<\/p>\n

Greenlaw\u2019s Broncos tenure got off to an inauspicious start, as he suffered a severe quadriceps strain on the second day of OTAs, and it held him out until Week 7. Greenlaw said he felt head coach Sean Payton\u2019s ire because he wasn\u2019t able to be on the field.<\/p>\n

“We were good, especially when I first came in,” Greenlaw said. “And then you pop your quad, people start looking at you. Then, when we played the Jaguars (on Dec. 21), I had a little bit of a hamstring (injury). After that, you kind of feel when the coach is, like, not really messing with you. I felt alone.”<\/p>\n

The linebacker said he knew the trainers better than his teammates because he wasn\u2019t on the field. Last season, he appeared in eight games<\/a> (seven starts), recorded 43 tackles, with two tackles for loss, one sack and one interception.<\/p>\n

The Broncos ran a different scheme than the one Greenlaw used with the 49ers, and he said he never mastered it. He took accountability for his shortcomings in Denver.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t blame anything on the Broncos,” he said. “Coming off the Achilles and the calf (injuries), I just wasn\u2019t in the shape that I needed to be to go out there with them and give it all I got. I should have taken it slow. (But) naturally, they\u2019d just paid me, so that\u2019s all I wanted to do \u2014 go show them what I could do. And it bit me in the ass, the second day I got there.”<\/p>\n

“I know what I could have done better, as far as being in that film,” he said. “That\u2019s where I feel like I let myself and everybody down.”<\/p>\n

After being cut by the Broncos, Greenlaw signed a one-year, $7.5 million deal to return to the 49ers. The familiarity of Southern California is one he enjoys.<\/p>\n

“It just feels like home,” Greenlaw said. “I get to still play football and prove people wrong. And that\u2019s what I\u2019ve been doing my whole life.”<\/p>\n
