Broncos QB Bo Nix said that having continuity from the top down will help the team have success for years to come.

For professionals, I think it’s kind of underrated because we sort of take it for granted that we can just sort of bring another guy in or change a team,” Nix said, via Broncos Wire. “We’re professionals, we’ll handle it right. But you look at the teams that stick together for a long time, they end up winning. That’s kind of how, historically, that’s how it was. You didn’t go from team to team as much.

Chargers

Chargers OL Kayode Awosika and Cole Strange are competing for starting spots on the offensive line protecting QB Justin Herbert, and each man gave their thoughts on the competition.

“When you come into this building with this coaching staff from the first day, they wipe you clean and say, go with conviction over perfection,” said Awosika, via Kris Rhim of ESPN. “Meaning speed, aggressiveness off the ball, and not worrying about the presentation.”
