ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Mark Sanchez didn't see the Denver Broncos' selection of Paxton Lynch as a threat, he saw it as affirmation that he is on track to be the starting quarterback for the defending Super Bowl champions.
"Absolutely, that's the message I've received,'' Sanchez said Monday following the team's workout. "I'm thrilled with this opportunity.''
Sanchez was also one of the first Broncos players to reach out to Lynch, the former University of Memphis quarterback the Broncos selected 26th overall this past weekend, to congratulate him on being selected by the Broncos.
