The Denver Broncos have been a hot topic in NFL circles throughout the offseason, especially with their quarterback situation taking center stage.
After a brief two-year stint with Russell Wilson, the Broncos decided to part ways with him, seeking greener pastures in the quarterback department.
While many viewed this decision favorably considering Wilson’s underwhelming performance with the team, the path forward for the Broncos remained uncertain.
Their acquisition of Zach Wilson from the New York Jets, a quarterback with starting experience, seemed promising on paper, but his track record also left room for skepticism.
All doubts were put to rest during this year’s draft when the Broncos selected Bo Nix with the 12th overall pick, unveiling their strategy for the future.
The decision garnered attention, prompting insights from Sean Payton during an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, where he discussed Nix’s impressive workout.
“It was impressive, I just remember we got in the car afterwards, and I just looked around and I said, ‘Are you kidding me?”
This move signaled the Broncos’ unwavering commitment to Nix from the outset of the pre-draft evaluation process.
Notably, the Broncos didn’t need to trade up to secure Nix, a positive indicator for a team with limited draft assets.
The coming years will be telling for the Broncos as they strive to gain ground in the competitive NFC West, contending with the likes of Patrick Mahomes and the formidable Kansas City Chiefs.
The question looms: Will Nix’s addition propel the Broncos to new heights? Only time will tell. Either way, the addition of Bo Nix gives reason for Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos’ fan base to get excited about the future.
