On Sunday, the New Orleans Saints passing defense faced as test unlike anything we’ve seen in a long time in the NFL. With all three of the Denver Broncos’ quarterbacks deemed ineligible to play versus the Saints due to close contact tracing with a positive COVID-19 test, Denver had to turn to practice squad wide receiver and former Wake Forest QB Kendall Hinton. The Wake Forest product was signed off the practice squad roughly 24 hours before game time, with no practice at the position and not having played a single snap at quarterback since a game against Clemson in 2018 while still playing for the Demon Deacons.
