During a walkthrough early in Saturday's practice, Jarrett Stidham noticed something was off and immediately called a halt to the proceedings. As a leader on the team, he wanted to ensure that everyone on the offensive line was on the same page before moving forward.
In an interview with reporters after practice, Stidham spoke about the importance of this type of communication and teamwork. He emphasized that it was not only beneficial for the offensive line, but also for the receivers, running backs, tight ends, and quarterbacks themselves. While this may not be the deciding factor in earning a starting quarterback position in the NFL, it certainly doesn't hurt in a competitive environment where every detail counts.
This is just one aspect of Stidham's value to the Broncos and his case to head coach Sean Payton and the rest of the offensive staff. He has a natural ability to lead and has earned the respect and admiration of his teammates. He is comfortable taking charge and directing his fellow players, but also knows when to lighten the mood with a well-timed joke. Simply put, he is comfortable in his own skin and this has not changed even as he competes for a starting position in the NFL for the first time.
Stidham recognizes that competition is a crucial aspect of the NFL and believes that it brings out the best in players. He understands that the team's management is always looking for talented individuals who can contribute to the success of the team. As for the players on the team, their job is to not only keep their position, but also to constantly improve and strive for excellence. Stidham himself has always prided himself on being a great teammate and executing plays on the field when given the opportunity.
He acknowledges that being well-liked and a good teammate does not automatically guarantee success on the football field. While all three quarterbacks had a strong performance during Saturday's practice, no one has consistently stood out during the first week of training camp. However, Stidham remains focused on fine-tuning his skills and making his value to the team known. Whether this results in him earning the starting position for Week 1, securing a backup spot, or catching the attention of other teams, remains to be seen. But he genuinely enjoys the process and is grateful to be a part of such a close-knit team.
When asked about his thoughts on Denver and the team, Stidham expressed his admiration for the camaraderie among the players. He believes that this is a special group of guys who genuinely care for each other, both on and off the field. They often hang out together, whether it's with their significant others or on their own. Stidham believes that this strong bond translates to the field and ultimately leads to success.
He also mentioned the importance of open and respectful communication among teammates. He believes that when players have a genuine love and respect for one another, it can greatly impact their performance on the field. Stidham's positive attitude and strong relationship with his teammates make him a valuable asset to the Broncos, and he is determined to make the most of this opportunity.
