Case Keenum has not crossed paths at Dove Valley with Baker Mayfield, the former Oklahoma quarterback who was in town Tuesday for a pre-draft visit with the Broncos. But Keenum, the NFL journeyman who signed a two-year, $36 million contract with Denver last month, did not publicly bristle at the possibility that his new team could also select a quarterback early in next week’s NFL draft.

“I’m excited for whoever comes in to make us better,” Keenum said during a Tuesday press conference as the Broncos begin voluntary workouts. “That’s what great competition breeds within your own team. I think it makes you better. Whoever comes in, I’ll be looking for them to help us be a better football team, no matter what position it is.”

The Broncos also hosted Wyoming’s Josh Allen and UCLA’s Josh Rosen for visits and held a private workout with USC’s Sam Darnold in Los Angeles. All are expected to be selected early in the first round of the draft.

These voluntary workouts present Keenum with his first opportunity to work with his new teammates. Here are some other highlights from his meeting with the media:

1. Keenum’s first priorities as he begins his new gig? Learn everybody’s name, learn the playbook and “make a good first impression and build on that.” He did acknowledge that entering the Broncos’ facility as the projected starter feels different than years past, when he was the undrafted backup thrust into duty.

“There’s a precedent set with certain things,” Keenum said. “It feels good. It does. I’m gonna accept it. I know there’s a responsibility with that, too, so it’s not something where I feel like I’ve made it. That’s not ever my mentality.

“I’m going to stay hungry. I’m going to stay consistent with the same mindset I’ve always had. That’s what’s gotten me here and that’s who I am. Nothing’s ever been handed to me. I’ve earned that right, and I’m going to continue to earn that right.”

2. Keenum cannot make big comparisons on this season’s Broncos offense versus the 2017 version that ranked 27th in the NFL in scoring (18.1 points per game) and 20th in passing offense (208.3 yards per game). But Keenum said, “I love what we’re doing so far and I’m excited to continue to learn.”

“It’s a lot of similar stuff (to other stops in my career), but you’re just doing it in a different language,” Keenum said. “You kind of compare your thoughts on a certain play into certain coverages and just kind of transplant that into this system, if that makes sense.”

With Minnesota last season, Keenum completed 67.6 percent of his passes for 3,547 yards, 22 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

3. Keenum has spent most of the past month training in Houston, where he grew up and starred in college. He went back to Minnesota last weekend to accept the “Uncommon Award,” presented by Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy. The award is given to a player who is never afraid to “take the tough road, to follow a higher calling or set a higher standard.”

“It was really special to share that (with Dungy),” Keenum said. “… He’s a guy I’ve looked up to for a long time.”
