And for the first time since the Hall of Fame quarterback retired, Denver looks like it has a long-term answer under center. From Trevor Siemian to Case Keenum to Nix, here’s a look at the Broncos’ different quarterbacks during that span, who they are, how they fared in the role and where they are today.

More than 24 hours into the draft, he still hadn’t heard his name called. Cain, however, sensed good news on the horizon for Bonitto, who he viewed like a son after coaching him for two seasons at Oklahoma. “I was telling everybody, ‘Nik is either going to the 49ers or the Broncos,’ because those were two teams that just kept calling me, like, ‘Hey, tell me about Nik,’” Cain told The Denver Post.

The CU graduate student, who transferred to Boulder after two years apiece at Villanova and Oklahoma State, played that winter for Maccabi Ra’anana. She averaged double-digit scoring and was named the league’s rookie of the year, a performance that followed Garzon leading Israel to the bronze medal in the FIBA U18 Women’s European Championship. “Once she had a few games in that professional league with double-digit points, playing next to top-level players, and she was already dominant, I already understood then that she was a special talent,” recalled her national team coach, Roie Levin. “Her rebounding, her size, her shooting ability separated her.

There was also an article in The Denver Post recently about the extended period of darkness and lack of wind that is common in Europe, which effectively negates solar panels and wind turbines for electricity production, driving prices up dramatically and even causing blackouts in some areas. Combine that with European cold winters (I know them well from service in Germany), and the resulting cold-related misery and deaths of people become very problematic.

This friend disappears fully into relationships with people who aren’t good to him, and it’s impossible to get him to respond to invitations to hang out. After months of initiating plans, and rarely hearing back, I decided to take a step back from it due to incredible initiation fatigue. He will occasionally call me and say he misses me and wants to grab lunch.
