Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton is talking a lot right now.
And it’s all glowing and positive, mostly about his second-year QB Bo Nix.
Payton dropped some bombs to Charles Robinson of Yahoo!, getting Broncos Country buzzing when he said he thinks they can will the Super Bowl this year and that Nix will be a top-5 quarterback in the league over the next two seasons.
Well since that came out on Monday, three more things have hit the national media circuit via Sean Payton:
Coming off a 10-7 season where the Broncos made the playoffs for the first time since 2015, it’s easy to see why Sean Payton is high on Nix. He threw 29 touchdowns, the sixth most in the NFL, after not throwing any the first three weeks of the season.
But Payton has also now made four big headlines with national media outlets this week. The one to Robinson that caused initial waves and now the three above.
And there’s plenty more to takeaway from Breer, Wickersham, Russini and Daniel, those are just some of the juiciest nuggets.
With the regular season almost exactly a month away, real football can’t get here soon enough. Sean Payton and the Broncos have very high expectations, and right now, the head coach is creating a lot of those himself.
