The Denver Broncos took a hiatus from OTAs (Organized Team Activities) in preparation for their resumption June 3 through 5 at Broncos Park in Englewood, Colorado, with quarterback Bo Nix and his teammates taking center stage after last year's playoff run. 

Head coach Sean Payton called his communications with Nix "a lot different" and more streamlined now that he has a playoff clinching season under his belt, a welcome development for Denver fans hoping for a return to the franchise's first Super Bowl since 2016. 

Nix took to the podium to share his thoughts on a topic of interest Monday as coach Payton's team prepared to resume voluntary workouts on the practice field Tuesday. 

"I'm in a great spot, you know, Denver's an unbelievable city, great city to live in, a lot of people want to be here and I'm fortunate to have been picked to play for the city so you know we just want to make sure that we're doing everything we can to embrace the situation," Nix said in a video posted to X on Monday. 

"I just enjoy being here, so that's where I want to spend my offseasons," Nix added. 

The former Oregon Ducks star was drafted with the 12th overall pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft and signed a fully guaranteed, four-year, $18.6 million contract with a $10.356 million signing bonus. 

His contract runs through 2028, giving he and his Broncos teammates plenty of time to make a run at a Super Bowl appearance.
