Denver Broncos’ rookie QB will make his highly anticipated regular season debut
The Denver Broncos hope Bo Nix is ready for the moment.
The rookie quarterback and the Broncos will face the Seattle Seahawks in their regular season opener at Lumen Field, one of the most intimidating stadiums in the NFL. The fans can be loud, making it difficult for the opposing team to communicate, resulting in penalties, particularly false starts by the offensive line.
Nix could be rattled by the noise and the pressure of playing in his first regular season game. However, Denver wide receiver Josh Reynolds isn’t worried. He said Nix has played in tough environments in college and possesses the poise to handle the crowd noise.
“Seattle is definitely a tough environment. But I think Bo, he’s played in big games. He’s played with crowds that kind of compare to this Seattle fan base,” Reynolds told reporters Monday. “I think he’ll adjust perfectly.”
Reynolds not only praised Nix for his mental toughness, he has been impressed by the rookie on the field.
Reynolds, 29, is playing in his ninth season. He previously played for the Detroit Lions, Tennessee Titans and the Los Angeles Rams. He has caught 220 passes for 2,933 yards and 19 touchdowns in his career, with most of passes coming from Jared Goff and a few from Ryan Tannehill.
Reynolds said Nix’s throws compares favorably to Goff and Tannehill.
“Bo Nix compared to anybody else I played with, he’s got a beautiful ball, man,’’ Reynolds told reporters. “He can place it wherever he wants to. He can put it on a line, he can have some touch with it. He’s got an amazing arm.”
The Broncos used their first-round pick (No. 12) to select Nix in the 2024 NFL draft. Denver coach Sean Payton named Nix as the Week 1 starter over veterans Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson. Nix will be the first rookie to start at quarterback for Denver in Week 1 since John Elway in 1983.
Payton’s decision to name the rookie as the starter didn’t come as a much of a surprise. Payton had been connected to Nix since he saw the quarterback during a pre-draft workout in March. Nix is being compared to Drew Brees, a future Hall of Fame inductee after spending 14 seasons with Payton in New Orleans.
“I’m excited to see how he progresses and continues to take charge of this offense,” Reynolds said.
Von Miller has made it abundantly clear that he would like to return to the Denver Broncos and finish his career where it started. Miller has made that fact known at every possible opportunity, including a Von’s Vision charity event on Wednesday.
“I would love to bring back those Super Bowl 50 vibes, love to assist, to be the vice president to Bo Nix, to Courtland Sutton,” Miller said. “I’ve been the guy and also I’ve been the vice president as well. I would love to contribute to us getting back to the glory land, to holding up that trophy.”
Miller went on to note that he has lobbied coach Sean Payton to sign him (Payton coached Miller at a flag football tournament earlier this year).
Unfortunately for Miller, it sounds like there are no plans for a potential reunion with his old club. The Denver Post‘s Luca Evans reported that “as of last week,” there have been no talks between the Broncos and Miller’s representatives about a potential contract.
With a crowded outside linebacker room, Denver seems unlikely to re-sign Miller, but the 37-year-old pass rusher said he will “for sure” play in 2026. After totaling nine sacks with the Washington Commanders last fall, Miller will probably be able to find a home as a rotational pass rusher, but it might not be with the Broncos.

Denver Summit FC delays opening of Centennial Stadium, will play next 2 home games at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park
Denver Summit FC will play their next two home games at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
Colorado’s first professional women’s soccer team was hoping to be at their new training facility in Centennial by July, but team says recent rain delayed construction, so they need to push back by two weeks.
That means their July 3 and July 12 matches will be at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City.
Summit FC is hopeful to be at their stadium in Centennial for their July 18 game against the Portland Thorns.
Centennial Stadium will ultimately become Summit’s training facility. They’ll play their games there until 2028, when they hope to move into their official home stadium at the Santa Fe Yards at Broadway and I-25. The Santa Fe Yards stadium will have room for more than 14,000 fans.
