Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix is a man of many talents.
On a 4th-and-goal early in the second quarter with the Baltimore Ravens leading 10-0, Nix handed the ball off to running back Javonte Williams, who flipped the ball to wide receiver Courtland Sutton, who tossed a touchdown to Nix.
It was an impressive grab by the 12th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. The pass looked like it was slightly underthrown, so he needed to jump up to catch it.
After only throwing one TD pass through his first four starts, 24-year-old Nix is making significant strides.
Over his past four games, Nix has a 3-1 record, seven TDs and one interception. Earlier this week, he was named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month for October.
Broncos head coach Sean Payton has likely realized Nix isn’t a prototypical pocket passer, and he should use his athleticism. According to Pro Football Focus, he ranks sixth among QBs in designed runs (52) through eight starts.
If Payton keeps taking advantage of Nix’s skills, he could become the dynamic playmaker Denver needs.
