Siemian called it a "tremendous honor."
"It really is," he said. "It means a lot to me to, first of all, be part of this locker room and then know some guys think of me in that light. So [it's] a huge honor for me, [and I'm] really excited to be a part of this thing."
"That's pretty cool," head coach Gary Kubiak said. "To be such a young guy and in his first year of playing, I think it tells him that they want him to lead them regardless of what year he's in. He needs to continue to do that and push forward. We've got to help him, but that's three good guys that they chose to be part of the leadership that's already in place."
Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, linebacker DeMarcus Ware, and special teams performer Kayvon Webster will still remain team captains.
