Overview

  • Bo Nix completed 66.3 percent of his passes for 3,775 yards, 29 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while adding 430 rushing yards and four scores in 2024 to establish multiple Broncos rookie records.
  • The Broncos reinforced their roster by signing linebacker Dre Greenlaw, running back J.K. Dobbins, safety Talanoa Hufanga and tight end Evan Engram and re-signing defensive tackle D.J. Jones.
  • Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon named Nix a top MVP contender based on his late-season surge and Denver’s well-balanced lineup.
  • Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III called Nix the “most underrated” passer in the league and ex-Broncos safety Justin Simmons praised his rapport with Sean Payton.
  • With Payton’s reputation linked to his handpicked quarterback, Nix must prove he can excel beyond low-risk play schemes under increased pressure.
