Rookie Bo Nix Wins Bronco’s Starting QB Job

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Rookie Bo Nix was informed Wednesday that he’d won the Denver Broncos’ starting quarterback job. That means he’ll be the 14th different player to start at quarterback for the Broncos since Peyton Manning retired in 2016. Nix was the 12th player and sixth quarterback selected in the 2024 NFL draft. He started 61 games at Auburn and Oregon, which is the most by a quarterback in NCAA history. Nix beat out incumbent Jarrett Stidham and trade acquisition Zach Wilson, whom the Broncos acquired from the New York Jets in April.
