When the Denver Broncos drafted quarterback Brock Oswelier out of Arizona State in the second round of April’s NFL Draft, the plan was to bring him along slowly, have him apprentice under starting quarterback Peyton Manning and a backup, and ultimately become Manning’s primary backup. But Osweiler’s performance thus far at training camp suggests he might be able to skip one of those steps. Reports out of the Broncos’ Dove Valley facility are raving about Osweiler’s arm strength and mobility, a rare quality in a quarterback who stands 6’8” as Osweiler does. He won’t beat out the future Hall of Famer sitting atop the depth chart, but so far, Osweiler has outperformed both Caleb Hanie and Adam Weber for the number two spot. Another rookie impressing at camp has been seventh-round pick Danny Trevathan, who will push for playing time at linebacker.
