Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has something to prove still in 2025. He turned heads with his play and success under center in 2024 with the Broncos, who selected him 12th overall in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft.
But with the surprise factor significantly faded, Nix will aim to show that he can raise his game to the next level, as Denver also looks to make the NFL playoffs and go deeper in it again.
In 2024, the Broncos finished third in the AFC West division standings with a 19-7 record and made the postseason before losing in the wild-card round at the hands of Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.
Bo Nix is confident in what the Broncos can do in 2025
Coming off a solid rookie NFL season, the former Oregon Ducks quarterback believes that the Broncos will show even more improvement on offense with him at the helm of the team’s attack.
“I feel like I’m a lot further,” Nix said via Aric DiLalla of the Broncos’ official website. “Just spitting out play calls [is] a lot easier, and processing. … It’s a lot better. It’s a lot more enjoyable not thinking right now as opposed to what I was doing last year. It’s fun. It’s fun to be in the know. It’s fun to have a little bit more of an understanding of what’s going on so I can be a little bit more beneficial to others and help them out along the way. I feel good. We’re in a good spot.”
In the 2024 NFL season, the Broncos surprised many by reaching the NFL playoffs in just Nix’s first year in the pros. Denver finished that season 10th in the league with an average of 24.0 points per game and ninth with 2.7 touchdowns per outing. Nix started 17 games that season, passing for 3,775 yards and 29 touchdowns with 12 interceptions on a 66.3 percent completion rate.
