After being selected No. 12 overall in the 2024 draft, Bo Nix joined the Denver Broncos following two impressive seasons with the Oregon Ducks, where he averaged 300 passing yards per game with a 75 percent completion rate.
While he has not yet posted the same type of stats in the NFL that he had in Eugene, the 24-year-old is actually producing much better numbers through five games than most previous Denver rookie quarterbacks.
Over five starts for the rookie, Nix has posted:
- 102-165 on passes, with a 62 percent pass completion
- Three passing touchdowns and four interceptions
- 866 passing yards
- 119 rushing yards with three rushing touchdowns
When compared to several other former Denver rookie quarterbacks, Nix's "rough start" does not seem so rough.
