ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) Mark Sanchez has thrown 2,424 passes in the NFL.
That's 2,424 more than Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch, the two other quarterbacks vying to replace Peyton Manning for the Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos with the start of the 2016 NFL season 100 days away.
So, you'd think part of Sanchez's duties in Denver would be tutoring the younger QBs.
Not exactly.
''That's an interesting dynamic,'' coach Gary Kubiak said. ''Mark is the guy with the most experience, but he has no experience here. He's got his own problems right now getting everything down. I'm not going to try to ask him to do too much.''
Plus, Sanchez is recovering from surgery to his left thumb that prevented him from taking any snaps during the first few days of OTAs last week.
So, it's actually Siemian who finds himself in the unusual position of being the QB providing guidance despite having never thrown a pass in the pros.
''Even though Trevor is only in his second year, he is a vet to me,'' Lynch said. ''He's the only quarterback in this system who has been here for a year. He was here when Peyton was here, too. I'm sure that he took a lot of stuff from Peyton and what Peyton did in that short time he was here. He kind of does some stuff that he does. I know that's what I would have done.'' Read more...
