How does Bo Nix fit with Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos?

Playing from the Pocket

The vast majority of what Bo Nix did at Oregon—and his biggest strength—is quick game. So we’re going to spend some more time on that.

Another simple concept: The #2 receiver runs a fade, which clears space for #3 to run an out. Nix peeks to the backsid then delivers the ball on-time and on-target.

Against Cover 3, Nix knows the cornerback is going to stick to the wide receiver running the boundary long enough to create a pocket for the tight end to curl into. Once again, the ball is where you need it, when you need it there.

This time, he finds a deeper pocket against Cover 3.

And an even deeper pocket against Cover 3.

He can fed his weapons when they have one-on-ones, too.

These might seem redundant. They might even be boring. But they’re what Nix is all about. Most of his completions are between the numbers. The vast majority are short. There are very few incompletions. He only threw three interceptions all season. He plays a responsible brand of football.
