If the Denver Broncos are to improve upon last year’s brief postseason appearance, Bo Nix must take another stride forward in 2025.
As a rookie, Nix showcased promising development throughout the season, boding well for a potential Year 2 leap. He endured an atrocious start, tossing four interceptions in the opening two weeks — a figure that could have been even higher. However, as the season progressed, he grew more comfortable in Sean Payton’s scheme. With better field vision, Nix found the right receiver more consistently, displayed mobility when needed and commanded the offense with authority. In his final 14 games, he threw 29 touchdowns to eight INTs and completed 67.2 percent of his passes.
Players who display incremental improvements within their first season are ideal candidates to break out in their sophomore season. That’s how star corner Patrick Surtain II views Nix.
“Bo, he’s even more confident going into this year. Obviously, with Year 1 under his belt, a lot more confidence rises upon that,” Surtain said on Tuesday of Nix. “The team, we have Bo’s back through the whole way through. He’s a tremendous leader out there, obviously, a tremendous player. This year, he’s going to make a lot of noise, and we’re looking forward to seeing what he does and his success moving forward.”
