The Denver Broncos may have finally found their guy.
They’ve struggled to get any sort of production at the quarterback position since Peyton Manning left Mile High, and they hope that Bo Nix will finally put a stop to their never-stopping revolving door.
Sean Payton and his coaching staff were reportedly quite high on him throughout the entire NFL Draft process, and with all the experience he had in two different programs in college, most people assumed that he would start right away.
Nonetheless, the team has yet to announce a starter, so there’s always a possibility that that won’t be the case.
When asked about whether he would accept being a backup, Nix admitted that he didn’t have much of a choice (via Andrew Mason).

He claimed that he would pretty much have to accept it, adding that he wouldn’t be complacent about it.
Still, he knows how hard everybody in the QB room is working to get the nod to be the starter, adding that they were all mature enough to be able to deal with it.
At this point, however, it seems highly unlikely that the Broncos won’t roll with him right out of the gate.
There have been plenty of positive reviews about him during training camp, and it’s not like they have many choices — or better ones — at the moment.
It shouldn’t take long before Sean Payton announces his starting quarterback, and it would be shocking if that starter wasn’t their first-round pick.
