Denver Broncos

'The Bachelorette' is apparently a big hit in the Broncos locker room

At first glace, Connor Barth's unabashed Bachelorette fandom looks like just another eccentric kicker quirk.

My Monday nights are always blocked off for some good reality TV! Should be a good one tonight! @BacheloretteABC #TheBachelorette

At second glance, Denver's kicker isn't alone in his affinity for that reality program. Several of Barth's Broncos brethren stop everything to see who gets a rose and who doesn't.

Here, C.J. Anderson "runs into" contestant (and Broncos fan) JJ Lane at a Waffle House. It was clearly by coincidence... or was it?

Inside linebacker Steven Johnson takes fandom to a new level, though. He actually knows contestant Tanner Tolbert from their time together at the University of Kansas.

Tolbert was a defensive assistant. Johnson was a Jayhawks linebacker -- and now he's a true Bachelorette fanboy.

@ttolbert05 U straight bro she weak anyway!! Don't even trip I know I'm like months late prly haha .....emotions hella old
