The Broncos waived Zac Dysert on Monday, paving the way for Trevor Siemian, a seventh-round pick out of Northwestern, to own the third-string job, should the Broncos keep as many quarterbacks.
It’s a vote of confidence for a player coming off knee surgery and still getting acclimated to the NFL tempo and to Gary Kubiak’s zone-blocking offense.
So, naturally, Peyton Manning, a 17-year veteran and surefire hall-of-famer, had some advice for the kid:
“Trevor has had a really good camp. He’s a bright guy, he’s improved. He wasn’t healthy when he got here because he was coming off a knee injury.
