Bo Nix was a revelation in his first year as the Broncos’ quarterback. Denver OT Garett Bolles said he is “grateful” to be protecting one of the game’s best young players.
“Bo’s a tremendous football player,” Bolles said, via NFL.com. “I’m so grateful I get to protect him and being his blindside protector, giving him all the time in the world. He’s a freak of nature. You look at the numbers that he put up last year, between him and [Jayden] Daniels, those were the two young quarterbacks in the league that’s gonna be very successful, and I have one of them behind me. His demeanor, his composure, his work ethic, just always wanting to get better, his arm talent and just the way he sees it, he has swag, man, he really does.”
Bolles said Nix’s ascendence to become a leader “spoke to us” in the locker room.
“You would think a rookie like that would come in and it would be hard for him to adjust to the NFL life,” Bolles said. “I think it just pays dividends to all the snaps that he had in college and the coaching staffs that he had there with Auburn and Oregon, and then coming to Denver and embracing his role and being the leader that he is, to lead our team down the field to score points, it spoke to us. We scored a lot of points last year and we’re ready to build off of what we did and continue to get better each and every day.”
