Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has been officially nominated for NFL.com’s 2024 Rookie of the Year award, voted on by fans.

According to beat reporter Zac Stevens, Nix suffered three fractures in his lower back towards the end of the regular season, but he kept on playing through the pain and discomfort. His injuries, which were more specifically process fractures of three vertebrae, occurred during the game against the Las Vegas Raiders way back on Nov. 24.

The rookie quarterback led the Broncos to a 10-7 regular-season record and their first postseason appearance since 2015. Even after Denver’s 31-7 wild-card loss in Buffalo, Broncos owner/CEO Greg Penner was unequivocal in his assessment of Nix at the team’s end-of-season news conference on Wednesday.

When Bo Nix was selected with the No. 12 pick, no one knew what to expect. We all wanted to “Bolieve.” There was cautious optimism that the rookie quarterback from Oregon would become “the guy” for the Denver Broncos.

What types of playmakers will the Denver Broncos come away with in the latest 2025 NFL Mock Draft? How will they support Bo Nix and try to make a run?

The Denver Broncos were one of the most surprising teams in 2024, snapping a nearly decade-long playoff drought. There are some holes on the roster still. One in particular should be of interest to Broncos head coach Sean Payton and quarterback Bo Nix.
