Broncos first-round QB Bo Nix has a narrative around him that he is limited to short throws and check-downs and will struggle to make the intermediate to deep throws. Nix addressed this thought and feels confident he can make every throw asked of him.
“Quite frankly, I completed a lot of long ones, too,” Nix said in his introductory press conference. “I don’t mind when people go back and watch the film. They can see everything they need to watch. That’s here and gone. I’m excited to be here now and do whatever I need to do to win games, and that’s if I’m out there playing, if I’m supporting another quarterback. Whatever it is, [I will] do whatever the coaches ask of me and do it at a high level.”
“I know if you do that, statistically speaking watching other guys in the league, if you do that, you get to play and stick around for a long time. So I’m excited, and I don’t think I have to show anything else because I’m at the perfect spot now. I just can’t wait to get to work with the team.”
Chiefs HC Andy Reid revealed during a recent press conference that the team attempted to bring in veteran QB Carson Wentz last season, yet Wentz was waiting for an opportunity to start.
“I thought Blaine did a nice job when he was here last year,” Reid said. “Carson, I know, did a nice job when he worked with the Rams — had a nice game, actually, for them right at the end there. But I welcome him in. We talked to him last year when we were talking to Blaine and he was holding off for an opportunity possibly to start. But it was good to get him in this position and if he has an opportunity to play, he has an opportunity to play. But he’s really handled it well since he’s been here. He’s a good football player. I like him.”
