Bo Nix named Broncos' starting quarterback
Following Wednesday's practice, Head Coach Sean Payton named rookie Bo Nix as the Broncos' starting quarterback.
"Bo Nix is going to be our starting quarterback," Payton said. "I felt like — and I said this to [the media] two weeks ago — that room has been outstanding. [Jarrett] Stidham, certainly with his experience and then being able to work with Zach Wilson. All three of those guys. We've got some decisions as we get into the roster. I don't want to get into all the other roster battles. That's not for today. But Bo will start. We've kind of gone through our process. In the very beginning of it all, just speaking with [General Manager] George [Paton] and [Owner & CEO] Greg [Penner] and understanding that oftentimes these things take care of themselves, but we're not in a hurry to arrive at those type of decisions. We want to see it. I think it's important relative to the team that we handle it that way. He's been outstanding. Obviously there's a ton of room for growth. There's a lot of things that he needs to work on."
