Bo Nix has made a significant impact on the Denver Broncos, being named one of six team captains for the 2024 NFL season, marking the first time a rookie has held this position since Floyd Little in 1967. Nix's election as captain follows a strong preseason performance and reflects the respect he has quickly gained from his teammates. Alongside Nix, the other captains include veterans Courtland Sutton, Quinn Meinerz, Pat Surtain II, Alex Singleton, and Wil Lutz. In a boost for the team's defense, Surtain has also signed a historic four-year, $96 million contract extension, becoming the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history. The Broncos are gearing up for their opening game against the Seattle Seahawks, aiming to end an eight-season playoff drought. Head coach Sean Payton is looking to leverage both Nix's leadership and Surtain's defensive prowess for the upcoming season.
