Broncos QB Bo Nix's confidence will 'radiate through the whole team'

.

Going into his second season in the NFL, Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix continues to get glowing reviews from his teammates.

Nix didn't lack confidence and composure as a rookie, but it's clear that with a year of experience under his belt, the 25-year-old quarterback has hit another level of confidence. And that confidence is contagious.

"[T]he way that he looked in the spring, and the way that he came back and the energy that he came back with, it certainly gives… his confidence is going to radiate through the whole team," Broncos right tackle Mike McGlinchey said Tuesday. "Bo has done a great job of that. He's a pro’s pro in the way that he approaches the game and the way that he treats his teammates. He's going to be a great player for us this year."

Nix completed 66.3% of his passes for 3,775 yards with 29 touchdowns against 12 interceptions last season. He also rushed for 430 yards and four touchdowns and even added a touchdown catch to his totals. Nix had a historic rookie season, and he appears poised to take another step forward in Year 2.

“Certainly, the experience of playing football games in this league is very, very valuable," McGlinchey said. "Now he knows what it feels like. He knows what it looks like. He knows, obviously, that he is very good at it, and I think that just gives him the hunger for more. I think that's what's really impressive about Bo is his competitive nature of just trying to get the most out of himself every single day. That ability to stack those days is why he improved so vastly and so fast as the season went on last year. I only expect the same things from him this year."

Nix has been diligent in his quest to improve, even making a trip to San Diego this offseason to pick the brain of Drew Brees, a future Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback who won a Super Bowl with coach Sean Payton. All signs point toward the second-year quarterback making a leap in 2025.
