ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- As the Denver Broncos closed out their first week of OTAs Thursday, coach Sean Payton was quick to praise all three of his quarterbacks in the competition for the team's starting job, including rookie Bo Nix.

Asked after Thursday's practice about Nix's progress since the team made him the sixth quarterback selected in the first round in last month's draft (No. 12 overall), Payton said:

"Good, he's farther along than most would be. We're talking about a player who's played 61 games (in college). He's extremely smart.
