Jarrett Stidham is making sure that Bo Nix pays his rookie dues.
It's funny how 61 games started at the collegiate level don't give a quarterback a rookie pass in the NFL. So-called "hazing" of new recruits is largely frowned upon by the NFL these days.
“He has to carry our pads, that’s mandatory. Pretty much anything that goes wrong, I just blame him," Stiham said with a smile on Wednesday. "I had a rookie haircut from Tom my rookie year. I think that’s against the rules nowadays. We’re not much of a snacking group, so we don’t make him get snacks or anything. Sometimes if I forget something in my locker, I’ll make him go get it. He has to do certain stuff for sure.
Stidham is comfortable portraying himself as an alpha male of sorts in the Broncos locker room. But as Nix said on Wednesday, all quarterbacks are supposed to be leaders.
