The Denver Broncos couldn’t produce good results in the previous season. Their record in the regular season ended up being one of the worst records they’ve ever had and the blame was assigned to their QB, Russell Wilson. After paying a mountain for Wilson, the fans and the organization expected success from the one-time Super Bowl champ. However, Wilson had one of the more underwhelming seasons ever. Therefore, the Broncos have made some changes to have a better season this year. They’ve made some serious changes to their coaching staff with the hire of Sean Payton. Furthermore, they’ve also been making some interesting moves in terms of their NFL draft prospects.

While all the teams have taken an aggressive approach toward their prospective draft picks, the Broncos are being smart about it. They’ve gone on to make their recruitment in a sensible manner, ensuring that a repeat of last year doesn’t happen. The news of some development in terms of recruiting makes it clear that Broncos might be getting a backup quarterback ready in case of Wilson’s failure to launch.

Are the Broncos looking for a Russell Wilson backup?

Every player in the NFL has had a slump and last year might have been Wilson’s slump. However, his slump cost the Broncos a whole season, and an underwhelming one at that. Therefore, the Broncos seem to be taking every potential precaution to ensure a better season. One of the best ways to do so is to ensure that they are able to bring in fresh talent from this year’s draft class. In the vein of that, it recently became known that the Broncos have been in talks with Penn State quarterback, Sean Clifford. The QB has had a marvelous season with Penn State. He is coming into the draft as one of the highest-touted picks.

The Penn State QB was the Rose Bowl MVP and has gotten on a one-hour Zoom call with the Broncos coach, David Webb. While nothing can be made official, the Broncos seem to move toward Clifford.
