Bo Nix to Start for Denver in His NFL Debut

Bo Nix is set to start in his first NFL game on September 8 as the Denver Broncos' rookie quarterback. This comes as no surprise to those who have followed his career. Despite facing criticism, Nix has consistently proven himself as a winner.

Nix first made waves five years ago as a true freshman at Auburn, and now he's about to begin his NFL journey with another major milestone. Denver's coach, Sean Payton, who once worked with the underrated Drew Brees to win a Super Bowl in New Orleans, made the announcement on Wednesday.

The Nix family's football legacy is well-known in Alabama. Bo's father, Patrick, played a key role in Auburn's 1993 Iron Bowl victory by throwing the game-winning touchdown pass. Bo followed in his father's footsteps with a similar clutch throw in his Auburn debut in 2019, leading the team to victory against Oregon. The Nix family continues to inspire the football community in Alabama.
