John Fox committed to Kyle Orton as QB

Kyle Orton is the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos.

That's the word of new Broncos head coach John Fox at the NFL Combine today.

The Broncos have three quarterbacks under contract – Orton, Tim Tebow and Brady Quinn – but that Orton is the starter. He wants to see how Tim Tebow looks and is intrigued to see Brady Quinn's development.

"There's a group of three (QBs) that we think are very capable. Right now, Orton is our guy," Fox said.

Denver currently holds the second overall pick in the first round of the draft. Fox said the Broncos are currently in the process of figuring out which player to target.
“WIth the second pick ,you’re obviously going to get a heck of a football player.”
