The 24-year-old Gordon has yet to log an NFL snap after going undrafted out of Washington State. During his senior season with the Cougars, Anthony Gordon proved himself to be one of the most prolific passers in college football.
In 2019, the 6-foot-2 QB threw for over 5,000 yards and 48 touchdowns to 16 interceptions. All while completing nearly 72 percent of his passes in Mike Leach’s Air Raid system.

Teddy Bridgewater suffered a scary blow to the head in Week 15 that saw him carted off and taken to the hospital. Thankfully Bridgewater, a beloved figure in the Broncos locker room appears to be fine and recovering well.
However, the veteran QB‘s absence leaves Denver in a bit of a predicament behind center. The Broncos seem all but done with former second-round pick Drew Lock. And behind him is undrafted quarterback Brett Rypien.
