Former Oregon Ducks quarterback Bo Nix has been named the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos after a strong preseason performance. Nix joins John Elway as the only rookie quarterback to start the season for Denver.
With the 2024 NFL season starting in 2 weeks, Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton has named former Oregon Duck quarterback Bo Nix his starter. Since John Elway, the Broncos have not had a rookie quarterback to start the season. After strong showings in the preseason, fans and media began to assume that Nix would start over veteran Jarrett Stidham.
During NFL training camp, Payton was encouraged by Nix's ability to quickly pick up the Denver offense. Nix has the fourth best odds to win AP Offensive Rookie of the Year. According to oddsmakers at ESPN Bet, Nix’s odds are +1100. Selected No. 12 overall by Denver in the 2024 NFL Draft, Nix is the lowest drafted player ranked inside top five for the award.
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert won the award in 2020, the only player in Oregon Ducks football history to do so.
