Lynch has stated that he can compete for the starting job sooner than even he anticipated, 9NEWS reports.

Lynch's comments came shortly after a report claiming that Denver's front office would like to see Lynch take over at some point this season. Many assumed during the draft process that Lynch would require a redshirt year before taking the reins of an NFL offense, given his lack of experience making reads. Denver's offense, predicated on the running game and boot-action passes - which can limit reads to half the field - can certainly mask some of that inexperience, however. Mark Sanchez should still be the leader in the clubhouse, but it seems as though both the team and Lynch are looking toward being aggressive with his development.
