Denver Broncos head coach created an interesting nickname for his quarterbacks' room.
The Denver Broncos will be entering the new NFL season ready to make some noise in the AFC. Following another year of missing the playoffs, Denver decided it was best to cut ties with aging quarterback Russell Wilson. The team traded for former No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson from the New York Jets and they drafted quarterback Bo Nix out of the University of Oregon at No. 12 in the 2024 NFL Draft. Denver also has Jarrett Stidham on the roster after signing him to a two-year deal last offseason.
When addressing reporters about the group of quarterbacks on the roster, Payton cooked up an interesting nickname for his quarterback room.'It's kind of the orphan group, they are all orphan dogs. They've come from somewhere but they are doing good,' Payton said, per Dave Althouse of FOX 31 Denver KDVR.It's an interesting analogy of his quarterbacks and one that doesn't seem great on the surface.
