Former Oregon and Auburn football quarterback Bo Nix has received enthusiastic approval from two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback John Elway, giving him the ultimate Denver Broncos-related seal of approval as the No. 12 overall draft pick.
Elway expressed excitement about the pick, praising Nix’s extensive experience and track record of winning games, along with positive remarks about his character. Additionally, Nix has garnered support from other NFL figures, with one executive expressing strong confidence in Nix’s potential to succeed in Sean Payton’s system.
This endorsement from Payton, along with Elway’s praise, marks the most crucial blessings Nix could receive, making him just a Peyton Manning endorsement short of completing the Broncos holy trinity.
With this backing, Nix enters Denver with strong support. He’ll be playing behind a highly-paid offensive line, though their performance is yet to be proven. Nix will also have talented receivers such as Troy Franklin, Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims Jr., and Tim Patrick at his disposal.
Now, all that’s left for Nix is to perform on the field. With his successful offseason in the Mile High City, he has already won over the fans and the team’s support.
