It’s finally here.
Former Northwestern Wildcat and current Denver Bronco Trevor Siemian’s battle to be a starting NFL quarterback takes its biggest step forward when he and his team head to Chicago—just south of his college stomping grounds in Evanston—to face the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.
Ever since Peyton Manning retired and Brock Osweiler went to Houston in free agency, the talk of Siemian being a starter has developed from mostly a joke among Northwestern fans to a legitimate possibility. Recently, it hit a peak when Denver released its first depth chart of 2016, featuring Siemian and Mark Sanchez as co-starters.
