Kevin Hogan is getting the start in the Pro Football Hall of Fame game. If he wants to see himself in Denver for 2019, he will need a solid performance.

With Joe Flacco not seeing the field during Thursday night’s Hall of Fame game, Kevin Hogan will be getting the nod to start in the annual game against the Atlanta Falcons. Both teams have been selected to help kick off Hall of Fame weekend.

This potentially means that a lot of eyes are going to be on Kevin Hogan. Granted it won’t be as big as it would be for a regular season game, but still it will be important for Hogan to perform at his best.

He, in fact, is excited and ready for the opportunity that is presented in front of him.

Broncos Country will be paying close attention to his performance on Thursday. My belief is that he will be fighting for the backup quarterback job. So far in training camp, Kevin Hogan has not performed well. I have seen constant times on social media that he has thrown interception after interception.

It might not be long before Drew Lock surpasses him on the depth chart. That could especially hold true if Hogan does not perform well with the “starters” and Lock is able to showcase that he deserves to be the backup to Joe Flacco, Vic Fangio will have no choice but to swap the long standing veteran with the rookie quarterback out of Missouri when the next depth chart is released.

Depending on how a fan of Broncos Country feels about the situation, you would like to either see a veteran or a rookie backing up a former Super Bowl MVP. Thursday is the chance for Kevin Hogan to shine.

If he cannot get the ball moving while he is out on the field, then come Monday, there might be a new name at the QB 2 slot.
