After earning the starting job with a strong performance throughout preseason, Bo Nix has made a quick impression on his new Denver Broncos teammates.

Head coach Sean Payton announced on Wednesday that Nix was voted as one of six captains for the 2024 season. Adam Schefter of ESPN noted it's the Broncos' first rookie captain since Hall of Famer Floyd Little earned the distinction in 1967.

Courtland Sutton, Quinn Meinerz, Patrick Surtain II, Alex Singleton and Will Lutz will also have the "C" patch on their jerseys to signify them as captains.
