NFL GM: Bo Nix's Accuracy 'Worries You a Bit' amid Broncos QBs Rookie Season

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix has led the team to a surprising 3-2 start with three straight wins, but there are still concerns about his performance so far this year.

One opposing general manager told ESPN's Jeff Legwold, "[Nix] does a lot of things how Sean wants them done and he's shown some toughness. The accuracy worries you a bit because he's not pushing the ball downfield much and still the accuracy isn't always there ... but the rookies who play at that position have to be ready to fight through it because there will be plenty of things to fight through."

Nix has thrown for 866 yards, three touchdowns and four interceptions while adding three rushing scores so far this season. However, he ranks 25th in the NFL by completing 61.8 percent of his passes, far below his NCAA-record completion percentage of 77.4 in his senior year at Oregon in 2023.

Despite the concerns from others around the league, the Broncos are not worried about Nix's early-season performance because they believe his best days are ahead of him.

"Bo is going to be alright, we just have to do what we have to do with him. ... He's going to be alright, you'll see," Denver veteran receiver Courtland Sutton said previously.

Broncos head coach Sean Payton, who routinely gets asked about Nix's confidence level amid his early struggles, said he believes the 24-year-old has the right attitude to be successful in the NFL.

"At some point we'll stop with the confidence [questions]," Payton said after the Week 4 win over the New York Jets. "The kid is confident. ... I should send him out to dinner with every one of you and you'll see."

It sounds like Nix has solidified himself as Denver's quarterback of the future. He will try to lead the Broncos to a fourth straight win on Sunday when they face the Los Angeles Chargers in an AFC West showdown.
