Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton's affection for Bo Nix remains a talking point coming out of the 2024 NFL draft.
On the latest episode of The Adam Schefter Podcast (starts at 20:20 mark), ESPN's Adam Schefter said Payton believes Nix is "as good as any quarterback" in the 2024 class after they finished their evaluation of him.
The Broncos' decision to select Nix at No. 12 overall came as a surprise. It was known they were searching for a potential starting quarterback after releasing Russell Wilson, but the Oregon signal-caller wasn't generally believed to be going that high in the first round.
