Sean Payton turns to Bo Nix as Broncos starting QB

Bo Nix Sean Payton Broncos Denver Broncos The Denver Broncos

The trend of starting rookie quarterbacks in 2024 added another name on Wednesday. Sean Payton decided first-round pick Bo Nix would be the signal-caller for the Denver Broncos.

Or as Broncos social media posted: It’s Bo Time.

It’s Bo Time.

Nixon came to the Broncos from Oregon after starting his collegiate career at Auburn. In two years with the Ducks, he threw for 8,101 yards and 74 touchdowns.

He beats out Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson for the job.

Payton is taking the team in a new direction after seeing Russell Wilson fail to deliver in Denver.

Nix joins Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels as rookies to start at QB in 2024. Other first-rounders from this year are Drake Maye (Patriots), Michael Penix Jr. (Falcons), and J.J. McCarthy (Vikings, injured).

Nix also is in a short group of players with five letter names. One that comes to mind for MLB player Ed Ott. Anyone else?
