Bo Nix solidified as Sean Payton’s quarterback with only 16 passes.

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton made a trip to Eugene, Oregon to watch quarterback Bo Nix showcase his skills during a pro day and a private workout. Payton was impressed with Nix’s accuracy and recall during the meeting the next morning. After reviewing film and observing Nix’s ability to process defenses and throw under pressure, Payton was convinced that Nix was the right choice for the Broncos. The team had the 12th pick in the draft and were concerned about other quarterback-needy teams picking ahead of them. Ultimately, Nix was selected as the sixth quarterback in the draft and named the starting quarterback for the Broncos. Payton acknowledged that Nix has areas for growth but has remained confident in his decision since the initial meeting in March. The Broncos quarterback situation was a top priority for Payton, with memories of missing out on Patrick Mahomes during a previous draft still fresh in his mind. Overall, Payton and the Broncos organization are thrilled to have Nix as their starting quarterback for the upcoming season, and are looking forward to his development and success on the field.
