Broncos Make a Major Addition at Quarterback Position in 2024 NFL Draft
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos have made a significant move at the quarterback position by selecting Oregon‘s standout quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The highly-touted quarterback, who excelled in the Pac-12 and was a Heisman Trophy finalist, brings a wealth of experience and skill to the Broncos. His impressive stats in his final season at Oregon included a remarkable completion percentage, over 4,500 passing yards, and a notable touchdown-to-interception ratio.
Originating from Auburn before transferring to Oregon, the quarterback has a rich collegiate history with exceptional performance, including earning recognition in the SEC and breaking records in Oregon.
Standing at 6-foot-2 and weighing 214 pounds, the quarterback showcases physical attributes that complement his on-field success. His record-setting completion percentage in 2023 and breaking of passing records at Oregon highlight his exceptional talent and potential.
With the Broncos’ first-round selection of the quarterback, they make a significant move at the quarterback position not seen since the selection of Jay Cutler in 2006. This selection adds depth to a quarterback room that already includes notable names like Jarrett Stidham, Zach Wilson, and Ben DiNucci.
Leading up to the draft, Head Coach Sean Payton hinted at the possibility of drafting a quarterback, and on draft night, the Broncos solidified their commitment by picking the quarterback from Oregon. This decision is expected to have a profound impact on the team’s future quarterback situation.
