Bo Nix, drafted as the Denver Broncos' 12th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, has quickly risen to the role of starting quarterback, impressing teammates and coaches with his poise, maturity, and rapid improvement. His preseason performance and ability to command the offense have led to high praise from key figures within the organization, including coach Sean Payton and owner Greg Penner. Nix's transition from college football to the NFL has been notably smooth, with veterans like Mike McGlinchey emphasizing his authentic leadership and competitive spirit. The Broncos have high hopes for Nix to fill the void left since Peyton Manning's departure, especially after moving on from Russell Wilson. Nix will be the first rookie to start for Denver in a season opener since John Elway in 1983, marking a new chapter for the team.
