In his 23rd NFL season and his ninth as a play-caller, Broncos offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur is beginning a new experience: A no-doubt quarterback competition.
Shurmur had Marc Bulger and Sam Bradford in St. Louis (2009-10), Colt McCoy and Brandon Weeden in Cleveland (11-12), Bradford in Minnesota (’17), Eli Manning with the New York Giants (2018-19) and Drew Lock last year with the Broncos.
When the Broncos convene for training camp next month, coach Vic Fangio’s mandate will be to give Lock and Teddy Bridgewater an even playing field to determine who starts Sept. 12 at the New York Giants.
