Put away those golf clubs, Day 1 of Broncos organized team activities begins today. Denver — for the first time in years — has its starting quarterback set in Case Keenum, ranked No. 51 in the NFL Top 100. So the QB question is now if Paxton Lynch can claim the No. 2 spot. Denver recently signed former CSU star Nick Stevens and Chad Kelly has showed up in great shape.

Head coach Vance Joseph said that he’s “added reps from last year to ensure that every player gets equal reps (regardless) if you’re a 1, 2 or 3 (on the depth chart)” at all 10 sessions. This means plenty of time on the field for backups and rookies, such as former CU star Phillip Lindsay and draft pick Josey Jewell.

Denver Post reporter Ryan O’Hallahan breaks down the other hot-button topics here, including Bradley Chubb‘s acclimation to the NFL and what Shane Ray’s response will to not getting his option picked up.
