Denver Broncos GM offers up surprising quote on quarterback Zach Wilson
The Denver Broncos acquired former New York Jets draft bust Zach Wilson this past offseason to bring in more depth at the quarterback position.
The Denver Broncos acquired former New York Jets draft bust Zach Wilson this past offseason to bring in more depth at the quarterback position.
This came after Wilson bombed out during a three-year stint with the Jets. The idea was to hope that a change of scenery could do the former No. 2 pick well.
At least initially, reports were not good in this regard. Wilson apparently struggled during offseason activties and training camp, leading to the thought that he could be a roster casualty.
It did not happen.
Denver kept three quarterbacks with rookie Bo Nix being named the starter. Jarrett Stidham is currently QB2 with Wilson being third on the depth chart.
Despite falling behind the two, Wilson is apparently viewed in a positive light by Denver’s brass. In fact, general manager George Paton had this response when asked whether he believes the BYU product has an ability to be a starter in the NFL.
“No doubt. He has starter tools all over. It’s been pretty cool just watching him with really no expectations. He can just go out there and play football. He has all the traits. He has all the starting traits in the world. He’s still working through some things,” Paton said of Zach Wilson.
