As the 2024 NFL draft approaches, the Denver Broncos and coach Sean Payton are gearing up to make some big decisions. One of the key factors they'll be considering is the height of the quarterbacks in this year's draft class. With a list of top prospects that includes names like Caleb Williams (6-1), Jayden Daniels (6-4), and Drake Maye (6-4), there's no shortage of talent to choose from.
These quarterbacks are all taller than some notable NFL stars like Russell Wilson (5-11) and Drew Brees (6-0), who have proven that height isn't everything when it comes to playing the position. Payton himself has worked with quarterbacks of various heights throughout his career, including Kerry Collins (6-5), Quincy Carter (6-2), and Tony Romo (6-2).
One thing Payton emphasizes is building around the strengths of his players. Whether it's a tall quarterback who can see over the line or a shorter, more agile player who can escape pressure, Payton knows how to tailor his offense to maximize their abilities.
The Broncos, who hold the 12th overall pick in this year's draft, will have plenty of options to choose from. But no matter who they pick, Payton is confident that he can help them succeed.
