Mike Sando and pundits rank all 32 NFL quarterbacks (see Bo Nix's rank)
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix is the 20th-ranked quarterback out of 32, according to a panel of 50 current and former NFL evaluators. Mike Sando of The Athletic broke down all 32 starters into five tiers; from Tier 1 ("A Tier 1 quarterback can carry his team each week. The team wins because of him. He expertly handles pure-passing situations. He has no real holes in his game,") to Tier 5 ("A Tier 5 quarterback is best suited as a backup"). Sando and 50 evaluators placed Nix squarely in the middle, in Tier 3. "A Tier 3 quarterback is a legitimate starter but needs a heavier running game and/or defensive component to win," said Sando. "A lower-volume dropback passing offense suits him best." In Nix's evaluation, he was labeled as the second-best quarterback in the 2024 draft class, behind only Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders. "I think (Nix's) biggest strength is he is very mobile and can keep his eyes down the field when he's moving," an unnamed offensive coach said in the article. "He made big plays on the move. That being said, I'm being generous with the (Tier 2 evaluation). Now you have people with tape on him. The one thing I know about Sean (Payton), he is no fool. He is going to get players in there. They should not have a shortage of playmakers." Nix similarly garnered praise from an unnamed defensive coordinator. "(Nix) looks pretty sharp, he knows where to go with the ball, he runs better than you think, he throws better than you think," said the defensive coordinator. "He looks like he is a good competitor who makes people around him better. That is what your quarterback has to do." In the rankings, Nix was behind quarterbacks including Josh Allen (No. 3) and Aaron Rodgers (No. 16) and ahead of fellow 2024 draft pick Drake Maye (No. 22) and former Bronco Russell Wilson (No. 26). With some new weapons and returning targets, Nix has the opportunity in 2025 to prove to the NFL landscape he has the moxie to be mentioned in the same breath as the top-tier quarterbacks.

Hall of Famer Terrell Davis making a difference for kids on the golf course
Former Denver Broncos running back and Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Davis was the headliner at Bank of America's "Golf With Us" event on Monday in Ken Caryl, Colorado. "I'm a golfing fanatic," Davis told Broncos Wire. "I love to be able to give back to kids and do events like this. You know they have this event where Bank of America they're partnering with Golf With Us, and it's an initiative which is designed to make golf more accessible for kids throughout this country." One of the benefits from this event is for youth to learn life lessons -- even some life lessons that Davis learned on the gridiron. "A lot of stuff I learned on a football field, I apply in golf, which is really resiliency, man, because this game will test you," said Davis with a chuckle. "You gotta be able to bounce back; you gotta be able to kind of plan things out and then control what you can control. I kind of had that same mentality when I played in the league and it's kind of funny how the same things to apply in golf and not only golf, but in life." For Davis, this event was about providing access to a sport he loves, something that Davis didn't have growing up. "I think the biggest thing (with this event) is just access; growing up in the community that I grew up in, we didn't have access to a lot of things and you sort of have a mindset where it's not -- if you don't have a growth mindset, you don't have access to things that aren't in your daily life," said Davis. "No matter what I do, I try to expose my kids to places that they've never been to, events that they've never seen, sports they've never played. And then, obviously you know whether it's restaurants or golf courses, whatever it is. "I just feel like it makes you not only more well-rounded, but it gives you a bigger plan in terms of your ideas and seeing in life in a different way. For a lot of these kids, this will be the first time that they've ever golfed and probably didn't understand golf, what the golf courses were, probably don't understand how fun golf is. It's a sport for life. Anytime, no matter what age you are, what kind of handicap you have on the golf course, anybody can play."

Brian Baldinger breaks down preseason film of RJ Harvey's NFL debut
Denver Broncos second-round draft pick RJ Harvey made his (preseason) NFL debut in a 30-9 win over the San Francisco 49ers last Saturday. The rookie running back rushed seven times for 25 yards and hauled in a four-yard reception. After the dust settled, NFL Network's Brian Baldinger reviewed the film and took to Twitter/X to review Harvey's first game in the NFL. Broncos second-year quarterback Bo Nix was asked about Harvey's performance after the win. 'Yeah, it's fun to watch him go out there and compete," Nix said. "He's young. He's got a lot of ball left ahead of him. He's got some juice. He can get out of the backfield and catch the ball. His routes are great. He runs the ball really well and he's just going to learn and grow and continue to get better with the run schemes and all that kind of stuff. It's hard as a newcomer that your first time really going live to see how everything develops. But it's going to take time, and he's just going to get better over time and each rep he gets, he's going to get better at it. "He's going to see a lot more as he goes down the road and he's just going to be able to add a lot of tools to his toolbox as we go. So I'm excited for him, excited for the whole running back room. I thought they did a really good job. They ran the ball tough, ran the ball physically, got some first downs, broke a lot of tackles, which is always good to see, and so that's a good room right now.' Harvey appears poised to share the backfield with J.K. Dobbins this season. Other backs competing for playing time in Denver include Jaleel McLaughlin, Tyler Badie, Blake Watson and Audric Estime. It wasn't a perfect debut for Harvey, but there were some promising signs. The Arizona Cardinals are on deck next (full preseason schedule). Social: Follow Broncos Wire on Facebook and Twitter/X!
