Former Denver Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer is really high on Bo Nix ahead of the quarterback's third season in the NFL
Nix, coming off a broken ankle, is looking to break into the top half of signal-callers, and Plummer says there's no concern on his end about Nix getting right back to form this fall.
"I think we're going to see the same Bo we've seen," Plummer said at a USAA boot camp at the Broncos' facility on Wednesday. "The kid loves football. He's a great leader. He plays a game with a ton of passion... hopefully he can go through the season without getting hurt because we saw how important he was to this team."
Nix's importance to the Broncos cannot be overstated, going into one of the most anticipated seasons for the franchise since 2015. Nix's statistics are hard to ignore as well, as his numbers match up with some of the best in the NFL over the past two seasons. Plummer praised Nix's superb athleticism and smarts when he's under center.
"The kid plays the game at a really high level," Plummer said. "He's smart with the ball. He can stay in the pocket, throw the ball. I'm hoping he gets a little more anticipation this year, maybe not having to rip it all the time, but taking a little bit off and leading guys and knowing when the holes are opening in the passing game. But then outside of that, he's just amazing at what he does with his legs. He's so smart when he runs. He picks the right times and he's also very elusive, a lot more elusive and quick than people give him credit for in this league that's full of so many mobile athletic gunslingers and quarterbacks. I think Bo ranks right up there with the tops."
