(CBS4) ENGLEWOOD, Colo. The Denver Broncos held their first workout of training camp Friday morning and all eyes were on Jay Cutler. The top draft pick signed his $48 million contract Thursday night and threw his first interception 12 hours later.

Cutler was picked-off by lineman Demetrin Veal in a play that had the players howling.

Cutler said later he simply didn't see Veal. He also wasn't the least bit discouraged. He promised to throw several more before camp is over.

Mike Shanahan said the rookie has a big learning curve but he likes the way he's progressing.

Ashley Lelie was still a no show and he's also no longer the talk of camp. His name never came up Friday.

The Broncos did some one on one end zone work and it was a real treat to see Javon Walker battle Champ Bailey. Bailey won their battles proving the defense was ahead of the offense at the start of camp.

One giant leap for Walker

DENVER -- Nothing was going to wipe away Javon Walker's smile, not even Champ Bailey knocking a pass out of his hands.

Walker, traded from Green Bay to Denver on draft day, ran routes against a full defense Friday for the first time since tearing up his right knee in the Packers' opener at Detroit last season.

"It went better that what I was expecting," Walker said after the Broncos' first training camp workout. "The doctor said that the next rehab is going out there and playing, and that is what I was doing. I wasn't thinking about the knee, I wasn't thinking about cutting, I was just trying to get back to my old self and run the plays right.

"You saw me today doing everything. Now it is just about getting back to my old self and making plays."

Walker skipped the full-contact afternoon workout -- he'll be limited to one practice a day throughout training camp and will slowly work his way into full-pads drills.

Walker made a good first impression on coach Mike Shanahan, who traded a second-round pick for the former Pro Bowl receiver who has had two knee surgeries in the last 10 months.
