After parting ways with previous starter Russell Wilson earlier this offseason, the Denver Broncos will have a new starting quarterback this upcoming season. And as the team gets set to begin its preseason games, it sounds like Jarrett Stidham will get the nod at the top of the depth chart.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Denver Broncos released their first official depth chart of the preseason and it listed Jarrett Stidham in the starting quarterback spot over former New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson and rookie first-round pick Bo Nix.
“Broncos are listing Jarrett Stidham as their starting quarterback on the first depth chart of the season. Rookie first-round pick Bo Nix is listed as third string,” NFL insider Adam Schefter of ESPN said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.

Obviously, this is just the first depth chart of the preseason and things can certainly change before the team begins the regular season next month. But this still sparked a lot of reactions on social media.
As an Auburn fan this is not surprising to me. Either way Broncos not winning much this year https://t.co/osPd2YRMSw

Always remember: Don't read too much into the first depth chart. A lot can change between now and the coming weeks. https://t.co/gZbXOoYp7g

Okay. I can understand why Stidham is the starting QB on the first depth chart. I get it. But from what I’ve heard, how is Nix the third stringer? Someone want to fill me in? #BroncosCountry https://t.co/fUxr30ABI3

Things can certainly change by the start of the upcoming season, but it sounds like Stidham is going to have a chance to pick up where he left off when he replaced Russell Wilson last year.
