ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix has already reached another remember-when franchise milestone as he approaches his first regular-season start Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks in Lumen Field.

Nix, who will already be coach Sean Payton's first rookie quarterback to start a season opener in Payton's long tenure as a head coach as well as the first rookie quarterback to start the Broncos opener since John Elway in 1983, was voted as one of the Broncos captains for the season. And with that Nix will be the first Broncos rookie to be a team captain since Hall of Famer Floyd Little in 1967.
