Colin Cowherd is a Bo Nix and Sean Payton supporter, and he has been on that train since before the 2024 NFL draft. As Payton used to be a frequent guest of his show The Herd while he spent a year away from coaching, Cowherd built up a fond respect for the Broncos coach.
After Payton became Denver’s coach in 2023, Cowherd was a great supporter of his potential culture change and loved the idea of Nix being his quarterback.
So when he brought on Matt Hasselbeck to become a guest on his show this past week, it should come as no surprise that Hasselbeck is a fan of the Nix-Payton dynamic.
According to Hasselbeck, Payton has Nix running a legit pro-style offense: it isn’t a gimmicky offense that relies on deception. You can watch Hesselbeck’s full thoughts on Nix in the clip below.
