Broncos showing interest in another quarterback prospect
The Denver Broncos continue to scout third-string quarterback candidates leading up to the 2025 NFL draft.
After previously meeting with Canadian quarterback Taylor Elgersma at Buffalo's pro day and hosting NDSU's Cam Miller on a pre-draft visit, the Broncos have had multiple virtual pre-draft Zoom calls with Minnesota's Max Brosmer, according to the Denver Post's Luca Evans.
Brosmer (6-2, 217 pounds) spent the first five years of his college career at the FCS level, playing 36 games at New Hampshire. He transferred to Minnesota ahead of his final year of eligibility in 2024.
The 24-year-old prospect completed 66.5% of his passes for 2,828 yards and 18 touchdowns against six interceptions in 13 games with the Golden Gophers. He also rushed for five touchdowns last fall, but Brosmer is not a particularly mobile prospect.
Brosmer is projected as a late-round or undrafted free agent prospect. If he lands with the Broncos, Brosmer could get an opportunity to compete for the QB3 job behind starter Bo Nix and primary backup Jarrett Stidham in 2025. The NFL draft will be held in Wisconsin from April 24-26. Denver holds seven picks this year.

Patriots' Christian Barmore Is Out To Prove He's Still Himself In 2025
New England Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore has returned in full after being limited to ... More four games due to blood clots in 2024. (Photo by Jessica Rinaldi/The Boston Globe via Getty Images) Christian Barmore intends on keeping last year behind him. After missing all but four games in 2024 due to complications stemming from blood clots, the New England Patriots defensive tackle has been medically cleared for a full return in 2025. And since players reported back to Gillette Stadium for the offseason workout program, he's been among them from April into June. That's the plan moving forward. 'That stuff I went through, man, I would never, ever want anybody to go through that," Barmore told reporters following Monday's session of mandatory minicamp. "That stuff, imagine someone stopping you from breathing, literally like stopping you. Now, I can breathe again. Now, them lungs open up, so it's like what's up. I'm good, man. Good to go. Green light.' The 25-year-old Barmore had been placed on the non-football illness list as active rosters around the NFL reduced to 53 last August. He was moved back to the list in December after experiencing recurring symptoms. In between the shutdowns arrived 123 defensive snaps. Those snaps brought one sack and six total tackles. 'There's really just a lot of fire in my heart," Barmore said. "I can say that because I feel like after that situation, people forgot who I am. So I'm just really bringing a lot of competitive with me. Every day when I'm on this field, it's just to prove that I'm still me and I'm always going to be me.' Last spring, Barmore signed a four-year, $84 million contract extension with New England. It carried a maximum value of $92 million as well as $41.8 million in guarantees. The agreement came on the heels of a 2023 campaign that spanned 64 tackles, 13 tackles for loss and a team-high 8.5 sacks for Barmore. Pro Football Focus charted his degree of disruption for 49 combined quarterback pressures. He also had a hand in six pass breakups and one forced fumble while appearing in every game. 'I feel really confident in myself because, one, I'm breathing, talking," the 6-foot-5, 315-pound Barmore said as sights turn toward training camp. "I'm just having fun, talking stuff, talking smack. Just having a good time with my teammates and playing hard.' Since landing in Foxborough at pick No. 38 overall in the 2021 NFL draft, the former University of Alabama national champion's run has included 48 games, 139 tackles, 19 tackles for loss, 13.5 sacks and 11 starts. And now, a restart. 'Well, I'm not going to comment on Christian's medical status. I'll leave that up to him, but what I've seen is a player that is excited and that is coachable,' Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said during his Monday press conference. 'Extremely coachable. He has some versatility. He's rushed inside. He's lined up outside. He's worked extremely hard. You've seen him chase and play with great effort down the field. I'm excited to see where he's at, but I've seen a lot of just improvement and a lot of engagement from him since the time that we've been here.'

Myles Garrett anticipates Aaron Rodgers' arrival to his infamous 'graveyard'
Myles Garrett is a man of tradition. When his penchant for destroying quarterbacks and love of celebrating Halloween intersect, it's lovely. Garrett's Ohio home has long been the staging ground to an elaborate seasonal display. Headstones dot a front-yard-turned-cemetery. On them lie the names of some of the quarterbacks Garrett has sacked in his NFL career. Joe Burrow is there. Lamar Jackson, too. Ben Roethlisberger has effectively established a residency among the grass (though admittedly the immobile, massive Home Depot skeleton would have been a better place for him). Kyler Murray made an appearance, which bummed him out. Advertisement Now he's got a new name in mind to add to his collection. Four-time NFL MVP and brand new Pittsburgh Steeler Aaron Rodgers. Fortunately for Garrett, Rodgers is easier to sack than ever. The 41-year-old is still recovering from the torn Achilles that ended his 2023 season after four plays. His 6.4 yards per scramble in 2024 were significantly below the NFL average for starting quarterbacks (7.9). His 94 rushing yards were the lowest of his career as a full-time starter. Garrett didn't need the help -- after all, he's already got the ultra-mobile Murray and Jackson amidst his collection of corpses -- but Rodgers does present an opportunity. The All-Pro edge rusher has only played Rodgers' teams twice in an eight-year career. Rodgers missed both due to injury as a Green Bay Packer in 2017 and as a New York Jet in 2023. Advertisement Thus, Garrett will get the chance to add Rodgers to a list of multiple-time MVPs in Jackson and Tom Brady amidst his boneyard. "Put him in the graveyard" isn't the threat it seems like given the context. But knowing how little the Steelers and Browns care for each other, it's the right sentiment for this rivalry.
