NFL Legend Has Strong Opinion On Denver Broncos’ QB Bo Nix

Nix is coming off of a spectacular 2023 campaign in which he threw for 4,508 yards, 45 touchdowns and three interceptions while completing 77.4 percent of his throws. He also rushed for 234 yards and six scores.

The 24-year-old began his collegiate career at Auburn back in 2019 and spent three years there before transferring to Oregon in 2022.

He enjoyed an impressive debut season with the Ducks, totaling 3,593 yards, 29 touchdowns and seven picks while completing 71.9 percent of his throws. In addition, he registered 510 yards while reaching the end zone 14 times on the ground.

In spite of Nix’s eye-popping numbers, many have questioned whether or not his game will translate on to the NFL level and have specified that he didn’t play against great competition in the Pac-12.

Still, it’s hard to ignore what Nix achieved the last couple of seasons, and for someone like Warner to be that impressed, Nix must have something going for him.

It also should be noted that Payton is known for his terrific work with quarterbacks, particularly for what he did with Drew Brees with the New Orleans Saints.

Nix will more than likely be the Broncos’ starting quarterback come Week 1, as Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson are the only other options.

Plus, unlike someone like, say, Drake Maye, Nix appears very polished, so he may very well make a seamless transition into the pros.

We’ll see if Bo Nix is able to make Denver forget about all of the ugly years it has endured under center since Peyton Manning retired following the 2015-16 campaign.
