Bo Nix, quarterback for the Denver Broncos, delivered an impressive performance in his second season with the team in 2025. This successful sophomore year for Nix came as Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson struggled with injuries.
In the NFL Top 100 Players list for the 2026 season, Nix is positioned at 59, which is ten spots higher than Jackson. On ESPN’s “Get Up” last week, host Mike Greenberg debated whether Nix has surpassed the Ravens quarterback.
Thanks for the submission!
Cam Wilder, a former collegiate athlete turned internet personality, criticized the Broncos quarterback, dismissing the comparison to Jackson in an Instagram post.

“This (expletive) is getting outta hand gang,” Wilder captioned the post.

Wilder’s critical post received a like from Jerry Jeudy, a former Broncos wide receiver who was traded to the Cleveland Browns in March 2024 after spending four seasons in Denver.
Jeudy did not play alongside Nix, as Nix joined the Broncos after being selected in the 2024 NFL draft following Jeudy’s trade.

NFL Analyst Labels Bo Nix as Broncos’ “Biggest Question Mark” for 2026
Despite Bo Nix’s higher ranking in the NFL’s list of top players for the 2026 season, Jason McIntyre from Fox Sports questioned the notion of Nix being one of the top 10 quarterbacks in the league.
“Any thoughts that he’s a top 10 QB – I think we need to pump the brakes. The biggest question mark about the Broncos heading into this year is Bo Nix,” McIntyre stated.
McIntyre also raised concerns about Nix’s passing skills.
“Why doesn’t Bo Nix throw to the middle?” McIntyre asked. “Why can’t he throw deep?”
In the previous season, Nix ranked 24th in completion percentage (36.7%) for passes over 15 air yards and recorded six interceptions on deep throws.
