Check out these highlights of new Broncos QB Jarrett Stidham

The Denver Broncos signed quarterback Jarrett Stidham to a two-year, $10 million contract last week, bringing him in to replace Brett Rypien as the team’s new backup quarterback.

Stidham is a former fourth-round pick out of Auburn who spent the first three years of his career as a backup with the New England Patriots before being traded to the Las Vegas Raiders last year. Stidham served as a backup behind Derek Carr for most of last season before starting the final two games of the year after the Raiders decided to move on from Carr.
