It's hard for Bo Nix to explain how big this factor is in 2025
It's hard for Bo Nix to explain how big this factor is in 2025 Bo Nix hasn't had this kind of continuity since high school. For the first time since playing prep football in Pinson, Alabama, in 2018, Nix is approaching a football season with the same play caller from his previous season. Yes -- you read that right -- in three years at Auburn and two years at Oregon, Nix never had the same play caller in back-to-back seasons. That is set to change in 2025 as Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton -- the team's play caller -- is entering his third season with the club and second year with Nix as his QB. 'It's huge," Nix said after the first week of organized team activities. "It's kind of weird going back to the first install, it's not new verbiage and not new things. It made it a lot easier this year. Now, it was tough to learn it last year, but being in a system and getting right back to where we were, just being able to call plays and understanding what it's like — going longer than 365 days just hearing the same thing, I think it's going to be really beneficial. "Honestly, it felt weird because it hasn't been since high school. I'm just used to learning different things, so it's good not to have to learn an entire new system this year and have the same play caller and have the same quarterback coach. [Also], the same guys you're throwing it to. The same center and the same [offensive] line. Being the same, it's going to be — it's hard to even explain. You're going to see it in ways that you can't even understand. It's just a natural thing to go out there and just pick up right where you left off and not have to restart.' Payton said when Nix hears and then delivers plays in the huddle this year, they "run off his tongue," unlike last year when Payton had to repeat the plays for Nix. "It's just a lot different," the coach noted. Nix having familiarity with the offense -- and coaching staff -- going into Year 2 only increases the likelihood of the young QB taking a big leap in his second season. Stay tuned. It's almost Bo Time. Related: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.
