Twitter reacts to Broncos inviting tryout QB Nathan Peterman to minicamp

[ASFN Admin]

The Denver Broncos are bringing in two quarterbacks for tryouts at rookie minicamp this week.

One of them is a 22-year-old rookie out of Fresno State: E.J. Warner, the son of Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner.

The other is a 32-year-old journeyman back who hasn't been in the NFL since 2024: Nathan Peterman.

Peterman, unfortunately, is remembered for his historically bad NFL debut as a rookie with the Buffalo Bills in 2017. Peterman went 6-of-14 for 66 yards with no touchdowns and five interceptions before being benched at halftime of what ended up being a 54-24 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in his first career start.

Given the QB's rough history, fans and pundits were not thrilled about Peterman getting a tryout with the Broncos this week. Here's a sampling of reactions from Twitter/X.

Said it before, I'll say it again: The NFL does not know how to quit Nathan Peterman, he of the career 39.4 passer rating https://t.co/QOXZhfpQhc

Peterman and Warner will aim to impress at rookie minicamp with the hopes of earning a spot on the 90-man offseason roster ahead of organized team activities in June. Both players will face long odds, but with Bo Nix recovering from ankle surgery, Denver might consider signing a fourth QB. So the tryout players will have an opportunity to earn an (offseason) roster spot this week.
