In an offseason filled with anticipation, the Denver Broncos' quarterback competition is reaching a fever pitch, with Zach Wilson emerging as a potential contender for the starting role. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler has reported that Wilson is making a name for himself and is in a positive state of mind as the team tries to rebuild his confidence.

Wilson, who was traded to the Broncos in April from the New York Jets, has had a tumultuous start to his NFL career. Despite being considered one of the worst first-round quarterbacks of his generation, Wilson is determined to turn things around in Denver. During his three seasons with the Jets, he threw for 6,293 yards and 23 touchdowns but also had 25 interceptions, leading to a disappointing 12-21 record as a starter.

Fowler revealed that Wilson is "in the mix" for the Week 1 starting position, alongside other candidates like first-round draft pick Bo Nix, who was selected with the No. 12 overall pick in April. Nix has been making a strong impression in training camp, and at 24 years old, is just a few months younger than Wilson, despite having less NFL experience.

Jarrett Stidham, who started the final two games of the 2023 regular season for the Broncos, also remains a contender for the starting role. Stidham, 27 years old, had a solid performance, throwing for 496 yards and two touchdowns with one interception, leading the team to a 1-1 record.

With the competition heating up, head coach Sean Payton will have a tough decision to make as the team prepares for the upcoming season. All three quarterbacks bring their own unique strengths and experience to the table, making it a challenging decision for the coaching staff.

As the Broncos navigate through their preseason games and evaluate the performances of Wilson, Nix, and Stidham, all eyes will be on the quarterback position. The team is eager to determine who will lead them onto the field during Week 1 and guide them towards a successful season.

With training camp in full swing, the Broncos are putting their faith in their new roster additions and hoping to find the right leader under center. The quarterback competition promises to be a thrilling storyline to follow as the season draws near.
