Jessie Bates Comments on Bo Nix's Career

As the Atlanta Falcons prepare to face the Denver Broncos, safety Jessie Bates humorously commented on rookie quarterback Bo Nix's lengthy college career, joking that they've been watching him for 'ten years.' Nix, who spent five years in college and holds the NCAA record for the most starts, has quickly adapted to the NFL, showcasing impressive performances with ten touchdowns and six interceptions in just ten games. Bates acknowledged that while the Falcons have limited game tape on Nix, his extensive college experience provides enough insight into his strengths. Both teams enter the matchup with commendable records, with the Falcons at 6-4 and the Broncos at 5-5. Bates's lighthearted remarks reflect the respect Nix has garnered despite being labeled a rookie. The Falcons' defense will need to strategize effectively as they aim to contain Nix's dynamic play on the field.
