Broncos name Trevor Siemian starting quarterback


Trevor Siemian, a former seventh-round pick, will start at quarterback for the defending Super Bowl champions when the season opens.

The Denver Broncos announced Monday that Siemian will be the starter in the Super Bowl rematch with the Carolina Panthers on Sept. 8.

Siemian started the third preseason game, which intimated he was in line for the regular-season start, with veteran Mark Sanchez sitting the entire contest.

Broncos coach Gary Kubiak praised Siemian throughout summer workouts, noting the second-year player's grasp of the offense and mental acumen.

Through three preseason games, the Northwestern product has looked steady, if unspectacular, guiding the Broncos' offense. The 6-foot-3 quarterback stands tall and maneuvers the pocket well, has the athleticism to run Kubiak's bootleg offense and has enough arm to make throws into tight windows.
