Denver Broncos: 4 options for a quarantine QB in 2020
4. Cole McDonald
A seventh-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Cole McDonald was recently released by the Tennessee Titans in favor of former Denver Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian.
Without preseason games, it was going to be tough anyway for McDonald, but this was a surprising and quick trigger on his release regardless.
McDonald wasn’t a model of consistency at Hawai’i, by any means, but there were times when he looked like one of the most dominant players in the country at the quarterback position as well.
I would love to see the Broncos attempt to unearth that with their quarterback brain trust of Pat Shurmur and Mike Shula.
McDonald is a tremendous athlete who is always willing to go down swinging, but he’s capable of catching fire. His athletic traits are certainly worth the look, if nothing else.

Over the last two seasons, McDonald had 15 games with three or more touchdown passes, showing off his upside even with a funky release in his throwing motion.
