Paxton Lynch has been talked about as a quarterback needing time to bloom and develop at the NFL level.
First-round passers, though, don't sit for long. Jared Goff and Carson Wentz will play this season -- and Lynch won't be far behind.
"Is that going to happen tomorrow? Probably not, but you never know when it can happen," Broncos football czar John Elway told KDSP-AM on Friday, per Pro Football Talk. "We think he's going to be ready quicker than a lot of people think."
At 6-foot-7 and 246 pounds, Lynch is a fascinating prospect with prototypical size and a powerful arm.
