While it’s not been made official yet, pretty much anyone with two working eyes can appreciate that Bo Nix will be named the starting quarterback of the Denver Broncos for Week 1. The first-round rookie has been outstanding in his preseason auditions, and the buzz is growing around Nix.
Completing 8-of-9 passes for 80 yards and a touchdown in Denver’s 27-2 romp over the Green Bay Packers in the second preseason game threw some happy gasoline on the Nix fire. That Nix also ran for 10 yards and appeared in full command of head coach Sean Payton’s offense keeps adding more fuel to the growing hype.
Nix was the No. 12 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and the sixth QB selected, but he’s trending strongly toward being a rookie hit in Denver. Here’s some of the social media hype and vibe on Nix:

Bo Nix is THE guy in Denver…there’s no denying that.
Can he live up to the high standard that Sean Payton expects from a QB. He reminds me of how Brees used to operate the offense.

Good luck watching this and telling me Bo Nix doesn’t look like a mobile Drew Brees. He’s going to thrive in this offense pic.twitter.com/O5IgMr25ox

I want you to watch how CALM AND CONFIDENT Bo Nix’s feet are in connection with how INTENTIONAL he is with his eyes on the first throw. HE IS SEEING IT SO CLEARLY. His experience playing in multiple offenses throughout college is showing up in spades. Bo knows football

Bo Nix has only played 2 preseason games and he’s already the most hated QB in the league because he’s better than what most people thought
