Renck: How disrespected Bo Nix is changing opinions about his ceiling. “He is Drew Brees Jr.”

Bo Nix doesn’t curse. But his rookie season was a giant middle finger to critics.

Sean Payton viewed him as the second best quarterback in the draft behind Jayden Daniels. And he rewarded the coach’s faith by leading the Broncos to the playoffs for the first time since 2015, delivering 34 total touchdowns, six more than Patrick Mahomes.

And yet Nix remains a magnet for disrespect.

Google NFL quarterbacks and Nix almost never ranks in the top 20. One NFL.com list placed him behind Bryce Young. Neil Young, maybe. Bryce? Get serious.
