Broncos

Broncos QB Bo Nix described what motivated him to improve his game this offseason.

“I decided that it was too early for a season to end,” Nix said, via ESPN. “So, I trained, I worked, like we were still playing, right up until the Super Bowl. … Hopefully we have a lot of years when I’m training and practicing and playing up until the Super Bowl because we’re going.I want to know what it feels like to play all the way until the end … and I’ll do it every year so I’m ready when we do go.”

Nix said the transition from college to the NFL has been a focus on taking better care of his body to adjust to a full season.

“In college you’re in there with 50 other guys, in the NFL it’s me on my own, I can dictate,” Nix said. “Rest is a component, I think and it’s important. … Make sure you give your shoulder a long rest from throwing but keep it strong. And make sure … I’m following a schedule and I’m being critical and detailed on it.”
