Zach Wilson gets vote of confidence from Broncos GM after losing QB competition: ‘He’ll be a starter’ in NFL
NY Post
The Broncos like what they’ve seen from Zach Wilson this preseason.
Speaking recently to The Denver Gazette, Broncos GM George Paton lauded the former first-round pick, who, despite losing the starting quarterback battle to rookie Bo Nix, “has all the starting traits in the world.”
“He has starter tools all over,” Paton said of Wilson. “It’s been pretty cool just watching him. Really, no expectations. He can just go out there and play football. He has all the starting traits in the world. He’s still working through some things. You could see the really good last week in the game (against the Cardinals). He can throw it as good as anyone in the league. … I do think he’ll be a starter in this league.”
Wilson, 25, began his career as the starting quarterback of the Jets in 2021 but was benched multiple times throughout a rocky three-year tenure in New York.
He was traded to the Broncos in April, joining veteran Jarrett Stidham.
Later that month, the team selected Nix with the 12th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
