Sean Payton got his guy in Oregon passer Bo Nix. The former Duck transformed as a player during his time at the college level. Nix started at Auburn, but eventually transferred to Oregon following three shaky years. Over the last two seasons, Nix became one of the most accurate QBs in all of college football. He’s athletic, accurate, and able to play within a structure — all traits Payton covets in his quarterbacks. After beating out Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson for the starting role, Nix will be aiming to prove that he should’ve been the first QB drafted in 2024. His debut wasn’t a clean performance, but Nix showed his toughness on a strong touchdown run to keep the Broncos close late in the game.
