Julius Thomas gives his prediction for Bo Nix's second season
Julius Thomas gives his prediction for Bo Nix's second season Julius Thomas had a relatively brief but impactful career with the Denver Broncos. Playing for the club from 2011-2014, Thomas recorded two Pro Bowl seasons in 2013 and 2014. In those two seasons, he tallied 1,277 yards and 24 touchdowns, becoming one of Peyton Manning's favorite targets. So when it comes to the Broncos, he's certified. This is why, after nailing his Bo Nix prediction in 2024, he's back for a second prediction for Nix in his sophomore season. Thomas stated that Nix, although it may have been uncertain for Broncos Country then, would be pleased with Nix as the quarterback. This year, Thomas sees growth due to how Nix came in and learned Sean Payton's system at a rapid pace. Thomas elaborates more below. Nix showed he could be an elite quarterback in college, playing for two teams and five different offensive coordinators in five years. Despite that, he left the NCAA as the single-season completion percentage leader in 2024. So, with stability in the NFL, Thomas has merit in believing that Nix will make an even bigger jump in 2025.

PFF names Broncos' top 3 players ahead of 2025 season
PFF names Broncos' top 3 players ahead of 2025 season Pro Football Focus writer Trevor Sikkema recently wrote an article about the three top players for each NFL team entering the 2025 season. Micah Parsons of the Dallas Cowboys and Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns are some players who represent a sense of importance for their teams. For the Denver Broncos, Sikkema chose cornerback Patrick Surtain, wide receiver Courtland Sutton and offensive guard Quinn Meinarz as the three top players for the franchise. Below, he elaborates why, with the data to prove it. 'Surtain earned PFF's Best Coverage Defender Award in 2024 with an 87.4 coverage grade while allowing just 0.53 yards per coverage snap," Sikkema wrote. "Meinerz posted a 0.51 WAR in 2024, third-best among all guards, on the strength of an 87.5 run-blocking grade. Sutton followed with a 0.44 WAR and a 77.0 receiving grade, placing him among the top 20 wideouts league-wide.' The Broncos made their first playoff appearance since their 2015 Super Bowl-winning season in 2024. Hopefully, the three players mentioned can take the Broncos deep into the postseason -- and back to the Super Bowl -- soon. Related: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.

Chase Edmonds gushes with praise for Broncos rookie RB RJ Harvey
Chase Edmonds gushes with praise for Broncos rookie RB RJ Harvey The Denver Broncos drafted RJ Harvey in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft earlier this offseason. In a quest to continue to build around sophomore quarterback Bo Nix, the drafting of Harvey is an attempt to further stabilize the running game as a component of head coach Sean Payton's precision pass attack. Chase Edmonds, via NFL Network's 'Good Morning Football,' recently gushed how excited he is for Harvey to join the Broncos. He even warned Broncos Country to get their 'Kool-Aid' ready because Harvey is bringing the 'juice.' "I absolutely love this guy," Edmonds said. "You talk about juice, you talk about the ability to get skinny, get back out to the outside. Broncos Country, let me tell you something right now: Get your Kool-Aid ready, because this brother is bringing the juice." With UCF, Harvey rushed for 1,577 yards and 22 touchdowns in 2024, earning first-team All-Big 12 honors. Hopefully, Harvey can replicate this production in 2025 with Denver.

Watch 41 minutes of highlights from Bo Nix's rookie season
Watch 41 minutes of highlights from Bo Nix's rookie season The Denver Broncos drafted Bo Nix in 2024 to make him their franchise quarterback. After the quarterback's illustrious career with the Auburn Tigers and the Oregon Ducks, it appeared that Sean Payton got his man after doing his homework. And if the 2024 NFL season was an indicator, Payton was right. Nix threw for 3,775 yards and 27 touchdowns compared to just 12 interceptions. The rookie quarterback also rushed for 430 yards and scored four times on the ground last season in addition to hauling in a touchdown catch. Nix and his play led the Broncos to their first playoff appearance since their 2015 Super Bowl-winning season. And what makes Nix and his performance more impressive? Payton's offense was Nix's sixth consecutive new offense, dating back to his five years in college. With that said, check out 41 minutes -- yes, 41 minutes -- of Nix and his highlights as a rookie below. Although it's lengthy, it's worth the watch: Related: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.
