Sean Payton praises all 3 quarterbacks competing for Broncos starting job

Associated Press  

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos closed out their first week of OTAs Thursday with coach Sean Payton praising all three quarterbacks competing for the starting job and cautioning that nothing should be read into the order in which they take snaps. “There’s going to be a time when you read into the reps, I don’t think it’s early in OTAs.” Jarrett Stidham is technically the incumbent, having started the final two games last season, but he’ll have to beat out two first-round picks in rookie Bo Nix, the 12th player and sixth quarterback selected in last month’s draft, and Zach Wilson, the second-overall pick in 2021 by the New York Jets, who traded him to Denver last month. At a banquet honoring his community involvement Wednesday night, Manning called Payton’s system “extremely quarterback friendly,” one he said he would like to have played in during his Hall of Fame career. “That’s always good, makes everybody better.” Manning goes back a long way with both Stidham and Nix, who as youths participated in his family’s passing academy. “There’s no way that would have happened had I not played and kind of gone through those struggles,” Manning said.
