Denver's unconventional quarterback competition concluded Wednesday with one final plot twist when Broncos coach Sean Payton walked up to his QBs during warmups
Denver Broncos quarterbacks Zach Wilson , Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham stretch before a joint NFL football practice with the Green Bay Packers at the Broncos ' headquarters Friday, Aug. 16, 2024, in Centennial, Colo.
"I haven't told the rest of the team yet," Payton said. "Because I'm not going to spend meetings with the rest of the team on every one of these other positions."Nix, who started an NCAA QB-record 61 times at Oregon and Auburn, has led the Broncos to scores on six of the seven drives he's directed in the preseason and he's been statistically one of the league's best passers this month.
Payton wouldn't discuss his plans at QB for Sunday's exhibition finale against Arizona but chances are the two veterans he beat out will share that workload. Nix thanked the two veterans he beat out: Zach Wilson, the 2021 second overall draft pick by the Jets, and Jarrett Stidham, who was at once a career backup and Denver's incumbent by virtue of his two starts at the end of last season when Payton benched Russell Wilson.
Payton said he was impressed by Nix's quick processor and his ability to navigate a "dirty pocket" when the pass rush closes in, both attributes that will make him the 14th different player to start at the position since Hall of Famer Peyton Manning retired in 2016 shortly after Denver beat Carolina in Super Bowl 50.
