Here’s your first look at Denver Broncos quarterback Mark Sanchez in his new team colors…

Have you been chomping at the bit to see new Denver Broncos quarterback Mark Sanchez in orange? The wait is over…

Sanchez and some of his Broncos teammates made an appearance at a Futures Football championship game, the first appearance Sanchez has made on behalf of the Broncos to the Denver community.

One of many, we’d expect.

Sanchez is currently the favorite to be the Denver Broncos’ starting quarterback when opening day arrives, but that could all change in the next week. We have been waiting all offseason for the draft, which will provide answers to the questions surrounding the most prominent vacant QB position in the league.

Though, if it were up to Sanchez, he’d probably just pencil his name in the starting lineup for opening night. Winning over the fans with his work ethic and saying all the right things, Sanchez is a great leader who has gotten a bad reputation for the last couple of seasons where his play has been defined by running into the rear-end of one of his former Jets teammates.

The Broncos acquired him in a trade with the Eagles early in the offseason for just a conditional seventh round pick, which is peanuts compared to the impact that Sanchez may have on the field.

Of course, it’s nice to sit back and look at all the things Sanchez has done well in the league, like winning four playoff games on the road including a win against New England.

Yeah, Broncos fans like that.

Still, John Elway and Gary Kubiak are not done bringing in competition for Sanchez, who they really like a lot, it seems.

It’s good to see Sanchez in the community, working with his teammates in a variety of ways and making a great impression on the city and the fans.
