Bo Nix, Broncos feel comfortable as OTAs ramp up

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (KDVR) — What a difference a year makes for the Denver Broncos.

Just ask quarterback Bo Nix.

“I feel like I’m a lot further along,” Nix recalled as the Broncos completed their first week of Organized Team Activities Thursday.

Here’s what you need to know from Broncos OTA:

Bo Nix talked about how much of a difference it is for him to have the same offensive play caller for the second straight year.

“It’s huge. It’s kind of weird going back to the first install, it’s not new verbiage and not new things. It made it a lot easier this year. Now, it was tough to learn it last year, but being in a system and getting right back to where we were, just being able to call plays and understanding what it’s like — going longer than 365 days just hearing the same thing, I think it’s going to be really beneficial,” said Nix. “Also, the same guys you’re throwing it to. The same center and the same line. Being the same, it’s going to be — it’s hard to even explain. You’re going to see it in ways that you can’t even understand. It’s just a natural thing to go out there and just pick up right where you left off and not have to restart.”

Safety Talanoa Hufanga also spoke on his expectations for the Broncos’ Defense in 2025

“People that are willing to buy into these guys, and they really want to grow. This defense is incredible. You look from top to bottom, it’s just players. So for me, I just wanted to humbly come in, earn their respect and join a crew that already did really well last year for sure,” said Hufanga.

Head coach Sean Payton spoke on the expectation for the rookies’ improvement from the rookie minicamp to OTAs.

“They’re behind, obviously, in a couple of areas. Mentally, they’re catching up. Then also physically, getting acclimated to the weight program and their conditioning level. They’re 12-13 workouts behind. They don’t have to get there today. They just have to work their way there, so by the time we get going in training camp, we bridge the gap, if you will,” said Payton.
