The Denver Broncos believe Zach Wilson still has untapped potential after the quarterback survived cutdown day on Tuesday.
With rookie Bo Nix winning the starting QB job in training camp, it was unclear whether the Broncos would keep Wilson and fellow backup Jarrett Stidham. Ultimately, Denver general manager George Paton felt the former No. 2 overall pick’s upside was too hard to ignore.
“He has starter tools all over,” Paton told the media Tuesday. “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.”
