Bo Nix got candid about Sean Payton’s lofty Super Bowl expectations for the Broncos—and he’s all in. After Payton publicly declared that this team is capable of a championship run, Nix shared how much that vote of confidence means. The rookie QB knows the pressure is real, but also feels energized by it, saying it drives him to elevate his play and embrace the challenge.
Payton wasn’t shy about his belief, calling Bo Nix “one of the top four or five quarterbacks in the league” within the next two years—and highlighting Nix’s decision-making, arm strength, and athleticism as proof

“Listen, I’m glad I got a coach that believes in us as players to put that stuff out there,” Nix said. “The good thing about our team is I’ve said it already before, but we’re gonna have, you know, guys that continue to show up and work.”
“They’re not gonna let the noise and distractions get to them. But they’re excited to get out there. … I mean, the Super Bowl kind of goes without having to say it. You know, we’re all working for that goal, and you can just kind of see in demeanors of guys and by the way guys show up is that that is our goal and we don’t really have to talk about it.”

With a stronger defense and seasoned guidance from Payton, Nix’s development this season could tip the balance.

Bo Nix vows to put out the best in every chance in the playing field
The Denver Broncos have finished last season with a 10-7 record but lost to the Buffalo Bills in the wild card round. With Bo Nix around, he vows that the team will go out and do more than their very best in order to get close to their goal of winning the Super Bowl.
“We can just go out there and be about it and practice and practice hard, and that’s gonna make each other better. You never know, we could go out there and have a great season, could go out there and have to grown and learn a lot. But we’re definitely gonna be trying. We’re definitely gonna work really hard at it.”
The Broncos still have two preseason games left to play against the Arizona Cardinals and New Orleans Saints. They will be opening their 2025 season against the Tennessee Titans on Week 1.
