Broncos Rookie Watch: Devaughn Vele continues to make case for bigger role

Highlight: Quarterback Bo Nix strengthened his case for Offensive Rookie of the Year. On Sunday, he picked apart Atlanta’s defense, going 28 of 33 for 307 yards and four touchdowns. He set the tone in the first half, completing 17 of 19 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns. But he wasn’t the only rookie that stood out. Wide receiver Devaughn Vele once again showed he can be a reliable target in the middle of the field. He finished with four catches for 66 yards and had a 33-yard reception in the second quarter. Rookie wideout Troy Franklin recorded his second touchdown reception of the season while edge rusher Jonah Elliss increased his sack total to three.
