The Denver Broncos have announced their team captains for the 2024 season and for the first time since Floyd Little in 1967, there is a rookie among them. Quarterback Bo Nix will start his career as a team captain ahead of their Week 1 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.
Key words in the Broncos' tweet when they named Bo Nix a captain: "as selected by the players."
Bo Nix has earned the respect of the locker room in a hurry.
And now he becomes the first Broncos' rookie Week 1 captain since 1967, and Sean Payton's first-ever rookie captain.
