The Denver Broncos may have lost two quarterbacks in a week, but receiver Emmanuel Sanders has an idea who could fill the void – although he’s operating outside the NFL right now.

Sanders is not pitching for Colin Kaepernick, Ryan Fitzpatrick or Robert Griffin III to replace the retired Peyton Manning and the Houston-bound Brock Osweiler. He’s going for a contender from left field: Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite.

“Uncle Rico considered real target to fill QB void,” Sanders said on Twitter. “Has great experience throwing [in] or over mountains.”

Back in 82, of course, Uncle Rico used to be able to throw a pigskin a quarter mile. Just the kind of arm the Broncos are looking for.

And he certainly comes through in the clutch:

After the departure of Manning and Osweiler, seventh-round pick Trevor Siemian is the only quarterback on the Broncos roster. Uncle Rico could be just the tonic.
