The Denver Broncos introduced Bo Nix as their 2024 first-round draft pick and the former Oregon star had a lot to say.
Nix's intelligence was apparent, as was his charisma. There's no reason to doubt whether he'll be able to fit in with his new Broncos teammates. His five-year collegiate career — spanned across the SEC and PAC-12 — afforded him the experience to get comfortable at the podium, and that was palpable on Friday in his first-ever presser as a pro.
Nix complemented his fellow Broncos quarterbacks by saying they've"all had great careers thus far," but he also acknowledged the unique traits each player brings to the table. It'll be interesting to see what dynamic is between Nix and Stidham."I followed Jarrett at Auburn, and I didn’t get a chance to be his teammate, but looked up to him on my way through," Nix said of Stidham.
As a 24-year-old rookie, Nix is the literally the most experienced college quarterback of all time. His 61 career starts are an NCAA record, and when it comes to finally putting a stop to Denver's QB carousel, Nix reckons that all that experience will serve him well. The tropes surrounding Nix's arm talent are among the most ridiculous and over-hyped I've ever seen since I began covering the Broncos and the NFL draft back in 2012. However, it was a talking point that followed him around his pre-draft cycle like a storm cloud. Nix isn't losing any sleep over it because it's not only in the rearview, but he landed in the ideal spot to be able to silence all those critics.
