Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix passes during the first half of a preseason NFL football game against the Green Bay Packers, Sunday, Aug. 18, 2024, in Denver. Rookie Bo Nix, the No. 12 overall pick in April’s draft, has been named Denver’s starting quarterback and will make his regular-season debut Sept. 8 at Seattle. Head coach Sean Payton informed Nix and fellow quarterbacks Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson of the decision on Wednesday before telling reporters after practice.
“Certainly you see a guy that’s not afraid to compete,” right tackle Mike McGlinchey said recently. “I think that’s the biggest factor for him as he’s come into this camp. You could put yourself behind by playing hesitant. It’s a mistake that probably every player makes at some point in his career and especially as a young guy. We haven’t seen any of that from Bo and that’s been a really, really cool thing to watch. Certainly, he’s going to keep building on that confidence too.
More than an actual horse race, though, the true competition this summer was Nix against the clock. Put simply: Could a rookie, even a 24-year-old with 61 collegiate starts under his belt, nail down Payton’s offense well enough and show enough on the field to get the nod?
