Been no secret about one quarterback and the Denver Broncos. They have been a fan of Bo Nix for quite some time. He may not go in round one, but Denver is the favorite to land the former Oregon Duck and Auburn Tiger starter. The Broncos recently traded for Zach Wilson as well.

New Broncos QB Zach Wilson will wear number 10.

Why's that relevant to Bo Nix? Number ten was his college number at Oregon.

That could create a bit of an awkward situation between the rookie and Wilson if Denver takes him. That being said, Wilson is a veteran in comparison and would almost certainly get dibs on the number choice.

Check out Rob Gregson's evaluation of Nix below.

Nix is truly a tale of two careers, being rebuilt in the Pacific Northwest after a tumultuous career at Auburn in the SEC. His obvious physical talent, build and running ability make him an enticing candidate for modern offenses that look to utilize the QB run game and designed PA shots. Teams will have concerns about the amount of time it took before things clicked for Nix as well as his lack of processing, but he checks the box as a high-character competitor that teams covet.

Nix's ceiling comparison is Jalen Hurts. His floor comparison is Taysom Hill, according to Gregson.
