Denver Broncos<\/a> general manager George Paton gave Bo Nix a glowing review following the quarterback’s second season in the NFL.<\/p>\n Nix totaled 4,287 yards from scrimmage and scored 30 touchdowns while leading five fourth-quarter comebacks and seven game-winning drives during the 2025 season. He helped Denver clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs with a 14-3 record.<\/p>\n \u201cI just think you evaluate a quarterback by how much he wins, and there has been no quarterback in his first two years who has won more than Bo,” Paton said, referencing Nix’s record 24 wins<\/a> through a QB’s first two seasons. “We can just start there. I think he had seven game-winning drives. It got to the point where we were behind, and Bo had the ball and we\u2019re like, \u2018OK, we\u2019re going to win this.\u2019<\/p>\n “You can look at all the traits for quarterbacks, their arm strength, their accuracy and all that, but I don\u2019t think you can [measure] \u2014 he has that \u2018it\u2019 factor. I don\u2019t think you can teach that. Either you have it or you don\u2019t, and he has it. So wow. Two years and we have a quarterback that can win and win at a high level. He\u2019s best in the big moments. We\u2019ve seen that. Does he have areas to improve? Yes, like all quarterbacks, but if you have a quarterback that has that \u2018it\u2019 factor that\u2019s best in the big moments, that\u2019s pretty big.\u201d<\/p>\n Nix helped the Broncos<\/a> get all the way to the AFC Championship, but he was unable to play in the game after suffering a season-ending ankle injury<\/a> in the divisional round. He’ll now look to attack rehab and return for Year 3, hoping to build on the early success he’s had in Denver.<\/p>\n Need a news break?
