All-Pro Chris Jones has battled and sacked some of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. The Kansas City Chiefs’ undefeated start has featured many starting quarterbacks, but they will face off with a rookie in the Denver Broncos’ Bo Nix for the first time this Sunday.
Jones spoke to the media on Thursday for his weekly press conference, discussing Nix and comparing his abilities to Buffalo Bills Pro Bowl quarterback Josh Allen.
“It’s similar to Josh Allen. I don’t think he has, like, the big play moments of Josh Allen, but he’s very comparable in a lot of things he does and the scheme they’re running with him,” said Jones. “whether it’s getting him in the open field, keeping the ball in his hands on certain downs and distance, giving him the ability to play with instinct. So, I think it’s for us to prepare, making sure we’re able to keep him in the pocket and then get after him.”
Nix was selected 12th overall in this year’s NFL Draft, and the Broncos view him as the future franchise quarterback. The Chiefs will get their first look at Nix, who makes his first start at Arrowhead Stadium, coming in with eight passing touchdowns, six interceptions, and four rushing touchdowns this season.
