The Denver Broncos will soon hold a rookie minicamp, helping their new draft picks and undrafted free-agent signings become acclimated to the team.
That minicamp is scheduled to run from May 8-10 and the team will bring in several players to tryouts, looking to earn a contract and a spot on the 90-player roster. On Wednesday, it was reported that the team is planning to include at least two quarterbacks on the list of invites.
The Broncos have reportedly been looking to add another quarterback to come in and throw to the rookies at minicamp, at the very least. However, there would be a chance the team adds a fourth quarterback to compete in the preseason as it's unclear how much we will see Bo Nix before the regular season starts as he continues to rehab his broken ankle.
Nathan Peterman, E.J. Warner will get try outs at Broncos minicamp
Nathan Peterman is a veteran option for the team to consider and he falls under the category of being an experienced player to come in and be a "camp arm", if nothing else.
Broncos 9News Insider Mike Klis reported that the Broncos will take a look at Peterman this weekend. Peterman, who just turned 32 years old, has lasted nearly a decade in the league despite making just five career starts.
A fifth-round pick of the Buffalo Bills in 2017, Peterman has also had two separate stints with the Raiders while also playing for the Bears, Saints and, most recently, he was on the practice squad of the Atlanta Falcons.
Peterman has completed 53 percent of his career passes, throwing for 712 yards with four touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
The much more interesting name to get an invite from the Broncos is that of E.J. Warner, son of Hall-of-Fame quarterback and former Super Bowl MVP, Kurt Warner.
Warner played college football at Temple and Rice before finishing up at Fresno State. He threw for 10,844 yards during his college career, tossing 71 touchdowns and 48 interceptions. He recently tried out for the Kansas City Chiefs but might have a better chance at catching on in Denver.
His father, Kurt, is excited about his son's opportunity.
Kurt Warner was undrafted before becoming HOF QB. Now his son E.J. Warner is trying out for #Broncos after undrafted “He’s in the same place I was in for a long time. Just hoping somebody gives me a shot And now it’s about going out to prove I belong. I’m really excited about it"

The Broncos have a solid quarterback room with Jarrett Stidham and Sam Ehlinger already on the roster as the backups to Nix, but Sean Payton is doing his due diligence to make sure the position is as strong as it can be overall. For a team that had to turn to a backup quarterback for the most important game of the season last year, that's not a bad approach.
