ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Case Keenum has long fought past expectations.
The Broncos' newest quarterback had only one scholarship offer out of high school and became a historically proficient college quarterback at Houston. And then after NFL decision-makers let him go undrafted, he fought for spots on multiple teams before making his case as a dependable quarterback in 2017 with the Vikings.
So as the Broncos evaluated Keenum's fit, his determination proved to be a factor in why they ultimately decided he'd be the team's top target in free agency.
"If you look at Case's history and what he's done, he's come through a lot being undrafted, but he's battled his way through everything," President of Football Operations/General Manager John Elway said.
