Broncos Defense Puts Bo Nix on Notice as Payton Maintains Faith

Payton’s recent “I love my Q” voicemail underscores his conviction that Nix can overcome early setbacks to reach elite quarterback status.

Overview

  • Denver’s defense, spearheaded by Pat Surtain II and Talanoa Hufanga, has consistently outmatched the offense during camp drills and intercepted several of Nix’s passes.
  • Bo Nix has thrown at least four interceptions over the past three practices, exposing decision-making areas he needs to refine before the season.
  • Coach Sean Payton left Nix a voicemail saying “I love my Q” and projects the second-year passer to rank among the top five quarterbacks in the NFL within two years.
  • The Broncos bolstered their offense by signing tight end Evan Engram and running back J.K. Dobbins in free agency to give Nix additional weapons.
  • Nix emphasizes a growth mindset, focusing on faster pre-snap reads and improved reaction time as he works to translate camp lessons into regular-season success.
