It has become quite clear over the last two seasons that the Denver Broncos<\/a> have found their quarterback.<\/p>\n Broncos<\/a> general manager George Paton has noted that there’s no better measurement of a quarterback than wins, and Nix tied an NFL record with 24 wins<\/a>\u00a0through his first two seasons. Nix wasn’t merely carried to those victories, either. Through 34 games in the NFL, Nix has led eight fourth-quarter comeback wins and 10 game-winning drives.<\/p>\n Nix’s coaches \u2014 and teammates \u2014 have constantly praised the quarterback’s mentality.<\/p>\n \u201cI think you have to just kind of consider the way he was raised,” backup quarterback Sam Ehlinger said after the team’s season ended. “He\u2019s raised in a football family. His dad\u2019s a football coach his whole life, so all he has ever known is football, and that\u2019s a really good thing. He is a really smart football player. I think you see that on the field. He understands coverages and offense really well, offense and defensive football.”<\/p>\n Patrick Nix, Bo’s father, played quarterback at Auburn from 1992-1995, and he’s been coaching football since 1996.<\/p>\n Need a news break?

I think his football awareness, his drive to be great, really stand out, and it\u2019s been great getting to know him. I consider him a best friend and a brother, so it\u2019s been fun getting to know him.\u201d<\/p>\n Nix has totaled 8,494 yards from scrimmage and scored 64 touchdowns through his first two seasons. He was named a Pro Bowl alternate each year, but ankle procedures have prevented him from participating in the NFL’s all-star festivities. Now going into Year 3, Nix will look to take another step forward as Denver contends for a Super Bowl<\/a>.<\/p>\n Social: Follow\u00a0Broncos Wire<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Twitter\/X<\/a>!\u00a0Did you know:\u00a0These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Feb. 21, 2026, 6:01 a.m. MT It has become quite clear over the last two seasons that the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":766905,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2062],"tags":[95878,232,231,258,2426,7,6,95879,95880,95882,97108,95886,95896,95888,95895,95906,100237,95883,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-766904","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-denver-broncos","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-broncos","10":"tag-denver","11":"tag-denver-broncos","12":"tag-denverbroncos","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-sstssportsnflbroncos","16":"tag-sstsnbroncos","17":"tag-tagamerican-football","18":"tag-tagbo-nix","19":"tag-tagdenver-broncos","20":"tag-tagnational-sports","21":"tag-tagnfl","22":"tag-tagnfl-hub","23":"tag-tagoverall-positive","24":"tag-tagsam-ehlinger","25":"tag-tagsports-news","26":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116108958526722629","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=766904"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766904\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/766905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=766904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=766904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=766904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
