Bo Nix,NFL Draft,Sean Payton

The Denver Broncos drafted Bo Nix at No. 12 overall and fans should be ecstatic.

We know how much Sean Payton values a"quick processor" in a quarterback. That, among other traits, made Oregon quarterback Bo Nix an excellent fit for the, after a whopping five quarterbacks had been selected in the top 10. There are rumors that Denver liked USC's Caleb Williams and LSU's Jayden Daniels more, but insiders report that Nix took precedent for Payton above everyone else beyond them.

Broncos center Alex Forsyth, who played with Nix at Oregon before Denver drafted him in the seventh round last year, raved to Denver’s coaches about his former college quarterback. Forsyth told the Broncos coaches that Nix is smart, knows every protection, handles it all at the…It's not just about how sharp a QB is pre-snap. How he comports himself after the ball is snapped is the other half of the equation, and the tape reveals that Nix is an excellent decision-maker.

"Denver held a private workout with Bo Nix the day after his pro day. The night before the workout, the Broncos sent Nix three packets of offensive play installation. And the next morning, as they worked in the classroom with Nix, he “crushed it”, per a Broncos source. Payton's variant of the West Coast Offense uses the passing game as an extension of the rushing attack. Nix is perfectly suited to those requirements, especially in the short-to-intermediate areas of the field.
