Bo Nix

The 24-year-old QB went through a full metamorphosis the last two years at Oregon after starting his long college career (NCAA record of 61 starts) at Auburn in 2019.
This past season Bo Nix set the record for the highest completion rate at 77.5%, breaking Mac Jones' record. However, a lot of this is based on the offense he played, given his average depth of target ranked 5th-lowest in the nation (6.8). A quick release - under 2.5 seconds to throw - helped Nix tie Michael Penix for one of the lowest pressure-to-sack rates in the 2024 QB class (7.6%).
The obvious concerns with Nix are his age, and how much more his game can improve when the competition level increases. Again, it's easy to be good when you have years of experience over all the defenses you are facing.
He offers only a little bit of rushing - 33 rushing yards per game in college. It's possible Nix can have moments in an offense like the Denver Broncos, but relying on him to deliver for an entire NFL season is a pipe dream. Sean Payton selected him 12th overall as the fifth QB off the boar in the 2024 NFL Draft.

The Denver Broncos have selected Bo Nix with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Bo Nix will be competing with Zach Wilson to earn the starting QB role in Denver. Unfortunately for him, the group of weapons at his disposal is slightly underwhelming. Nix is unlikely to be fantasy relevant in redraft formats.
