The 90-man offseason roster series of Broncos Wire continues with a spotlight on rookie quarterback Bo Nix, who wears number 10. During his college career at Auburn, Nix completed 74.9% of his passes for 8,101 yards with 74 touchdown passes and 10 interceptions. He also ran for 744 yards and 20 touchdowns.

It is clear that Nix has a bright future ahead of him in Denver.
