Bo Nix Takes the Reins as Broncos’ Starting Quarterback
In a move that has sent shockwaves throughout the NFL, rookie quarterback Bo Nix has been named the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos. The news, which was announced by Head Coach Sean Payton, marks a significant turning point in the Broncos’ quarterback competition.
As Nix prepares to take the field against the Seattle Seahawks on September 8, he will become only the second Broncos rookie to start at quarterback in Week 1, joining John Elway in 1983. But Nix’s journey to this moment has been far from ordinary.
Despite being the 12th-overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Nix has consistently impressed coaches and teammates alike with his poise, precision, and passion for the game. From the moment he arrived at training camp, Nix has been locked in a fierce competition with fellow quarterbacks Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson, each vying for the top spot.
But what sets Nix apart from his competitors? For one, his impressive preseason performances have showcased his ability to read defenses, make quick decisions, and deliver accurate passes under pressure. In his first preseason action, Nix completed 15-of-21 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown, earning a 102.3 quarterback rating against the Colts.
In his second outing, Nix started the Broncos’ preseason home opener and delivered a near-flawless performance, completing 8-of-9 passes for 80 yards, a touchdown, and a 140.7 quarterback rating. Through two games, Nix has completed 23-of-30 passes for 205 yards, two touchdowns, and a 116.7 quarterback rating.
But Nix’s success extends beyond his on-field performances. His infectious energy, combined with his willingness to learn and grow, has endeared him to his teammates and coaches. As he prepares to take the reins as the Broncos’ starting quarterback, Nix is well-positioned to lead his team to victory.

Despite these challenges, Nix remains undaunted. With his trademark confidence and swagger, he is ready to take on the best of the NFL and lead his team to victory.
