John Elway Praises Bo Nix Despite Broncos' Loss to Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars

NFL Hall of Famer and former Denver Broncos general manager John Elway has been impressed with Bo Nix this season.

"I like everything he's about," Elway said during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show (2:40 mark). "He's a great competitor and he continues to get better week in, week out."

The Broncos (12-3) had their 11-game win streak halted by the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, though they remained the top seed in the AFC playoff picture.

The 25-year-old Nix has been a big reason why, throwing for 3,608 yards, 24 touchdowns and 10 interceptions this season while completing 63.2 percent of his passes and taking 17 sacks. He's also rushed for 265 yards and four scores.

"To win 11 games in a row in this league is very, very difficult," Elway added. "It doesn't happen very often. What I'm impressed with is Bo's maturity. The experience he had coming out of college, when he played 62 college football games, I think that's a big, big help when you get into the NFL. Having that experience, having that maturity level. I think we've seen that in the first two years with Bo and [he's] gonna just continue to get better and better."
