Raheem Morris had a lot to say about the Denver Broncos' rookie phenom.
coming to town. Even at 5-5, the Broncos have overachieved relative to the oddsmakers' predictions this year, and a big reason for that is the performance of rookie quarterback Bo Nix.
“I think it starts with Sean," Morris said. "I’ve got to give him a lot of credit first. Sean has always been known to get his quarterback easy completions. He's found a way to get his guys completions, found a way to get those guys comfortable knowing exactly where to go and being able to do all the proper things. "
"Bo—I got a chance to know him personally. I know what type of listener he is," Morris said. "I know how well he can pick up those things and develop. So, I’ve got a lot of respect for him just throughout the draft process of being able to go work with him just a little bit and find out who he is and what he's about. He's done a great job of using his legs. I think he's really taken the league by storm with his ability to run and all those type of things.
Morris also served as Atlanta's defensive coordinator and interim head coach in 2020, giving Payton another year of experience in going head-to-head with him. So it'll be interesting to see how these two veteran coaches test and attack each other in Week 11.
