GO DEEPER Broncos QB Bo Nix's mobility, poise on display in encouraging preseason debut “I think the one mistake coaches make in this league, which is hilarious, is they handcuff quarterbacks and try to drill them mechanically and make them do something they couldn’t do,” Webb said during the Broncos’ offseason program. “What I feel like I’ve tried to do in this training camp so far is just go out and give it my best every single day and cut it loose,” Wilson said.
