Bo Nix makes his debut in player-picked poll of NFL’s best
In his first year for consideration, Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has landed in the “NFL Top 100.”
In its 15th year, “NFL Top 100” features a ranking for the league’s best 100 players as selected by the players for NFL Films.
On the 2025 list, Nix placed 64th in the voting, the NFL revealed on Thursday.
The former Pinson Valley High School and Auburn standout joined the Broncos as the 12th selection in the 2024 NFL Draft. As a rookie, Nix completed 376-of-567 passes for 3,775 yards with 29 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while starting every regular-season game.
Denver posted a 10-7 record to earn its first playoff berth since the 2015 season.
Nix’s touchdown passes rank second in the NFL rookie record book, and his passing yards rank eighth. With seven games of at least 200 passing yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions, Nix had the most for a first-year player in league history.
