While the first NFL game of the season is a few weeks away, Bo Nix has been the buzz of Broncos Country after the rookie quarterback help beat the Packers on Sunday.  We just learned on Wednesday that Bo Nix will be the Broncos new starting quarterback!

What to know about rookie Bo Nix:

Height: 6 feet 2 inches

Weight: 217 lbs

Age: 24 years old

Nix finished college at Oregon, but before that, he spent some time playing for the Auburn Tigers. He took advantage of a fifth year of eligibility gained from the pandemic to make 61 career starts, the most ever in the football Bowl Subdivision. He finished with 15,352 career passing yards.

Broncos head coach Sean Payton picked Bo in the first round of the NFL draft.

As the 12th overall pick in the draft Bo is in line for a four-year, $18.6 million contract with $10 million of that coming in the form of a signing bonus.

Sorry single ladies, Bo is married to Izzy Nix. She is loving Denver and being with the Broncos.

The Nix’s purchased a five-bed, seven-bath mansion just off The Ridge and Castle Pines North Golf Course for $4 million.

We welcome Bo Nix and hope he is the future for our Broncos!
