Broncos CB Pat Surtain praises QB Bo Nix's confidence and leadership
Denver Broncos fans have high expectations for the team in 2025 after quarterback Bo Nix went 10-7 as a rookie last fall and helped the club reach the NFL playoffs.
Nix has received positive reviews from coaches and teammates from the day he arrived in Denver, and cornerback Pat Surtain continued that trend during a recent interview with DJ Siddiqi of RG.org.
Surtain described Nix as a great teammate, person and leader, and he noted that the quarterback made noticeable improvement over the course of the 2024 campaign.
“You could tell when he is on the field, he has great confidence that he possesses out there and it shines bright each and every Sunday," Surtain told Siddiqi.
“I saw him grow and grow each and every week,” Surtain said. "Just seeing his mechanics, just the way he goes about his business, and it's kind of rewarding knowing that you have a guy like that you work with each and every week. I'm looking forward to his success at the end of the day.”
Nix, 25, was invited to the Pro Bowl as an alternate last season after totaling 4,207 yards from scrimmage and scoring 34 touchdowns. He'll now look to build on those totals in Year 2.
