CNN
The 2024 NFL preseason is in full swing and some QBs are using the time to impress their new head coaches.
The 2024 NFL preseason is in full swing. Players are getting their reps in and putting on a show, rookies are getting to grips with playbooks, and we are starting to get a glimpse of what each team will look like in the upcoming campaign. Preseason performances are far from the be-all and end-all, but they provide a useful chance for squads to warmup and see where they stand ahead of Week 1. Positional battles are always an interesting feature of the preseason as players on the same team seek to prove to the head coach that they are worth being named the starter in their respective position. The Denver Broncos released nine-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson in the offseason after a disappointing two-year stint with the team, resulting in the largest dead cap hit in NFL history. This left a vacancy at the QB spot with incumbent backup Jarrett Stidham, offseason acquisition Zach Wilson and this year’s 12th overall pick Bo Nix all in the mix to start the season under center, with Nix impressing the most in Denver’s comfortable 27-2 victory against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
