The Denver Broncos have sent up some serious smoke signals of late as it relates to the top quarterback prospects in the 2021 NFL draft class. Holding the No. 9 overall pick, GM George Paton has traveled to get an up-close look at multiple top-10-projected signal-callers at their respective Pro Days, including North Dakota State s Trey Lance, BYU s Zach Wilson, and Ohio State s Justin Fields.
Fields is the most interesting here because Paton took with him Broncos QBs coach Mike Shula to the first Ohio State Pro Day. For the second, to be held this week, Paton is bringing with him the big gun offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur.
