Bo Nix Stats Last Season with The Denver Broncos

Last season, the Denver Broncos started their rookie quarterback Bo Nix, whom they had just snagged in the NFL draft at pick number 12 in 2024. After the Russell Wilson experiment with head coach Sean Payton went sour, the Denver Broncos were in the market for a QB. With five QBs already off the board—including highly touted names like Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels—the Broncos settled on QB Bo Nix, a move praised by Broncos Breakdown host Matthew Peterson on Chat Sports. Rookie QBs usually take more than one season to acclimate to the NFL, a trend we’ve seen bucked in recent years, but typically only with top-five picks. However, Bo Nix took to the NFL like a natural. As fate would have it, he finished the 2024 season 12th in overall passing yards on the Broncos passing stats 2024. He finished 6th in touchdowns with 28. He was able to avoid pressure surprisingly well for a rookie, only being sacked 24 times. That’s just one more time than Lamar Jackson, if you’re wondering about Bo Nix’s ability to escape a dead play. An impressive first season for the Denver Broncos, to say the least, and a big reason Broncos Country is buzzing on the Denver Broncos YouTube channel.

The Denver Broncos Go Big in Free Agency Signing to Support Bo Nix

The Denver Broncos are buying into the Bo Nix experience in 2025—I don’t just mean that figuratively. They are literally buying in, spending over $167 million in NFL free agency during the 2025 NFL offseason. Their most notable signing in this free agency period was tight end Evan Engram at a whopping $23 million ($16 million guaranteed), a move highlighted in the latest Broncos news and rumors. Evan Engram is a dynamic, pass-catching tight end who will give quarterback Bo Nix another target and Sean Payton another chess piece on his drawing board as the Broncos aim to compete in the 2025 NFL season. The Denver Broncos also added depth to the wide receiver corps with Trent Sherfield and re-signed QB Jarrett Stidham as a backup, ensuring Jarrett Stidham supports Bo Nix moving forward.

The Denver Broncos also made significant moves in 2025 NFL free agency to bolster their defense, particularly targeting the middle of the field and maintaining their defensive line strength—upgrading this team is going pretty far-reaching, deeper than football. They signed safety Talanoa Hufanga to a three-year deal, bringing in a former first-team All-Pro from the San Francisco 49ers known for his playmaking ability (97 tackles, four interceptions in 2022), despite his recent injury setbacks—a signing Broncos YouTube fans love. Alongside Hufanga, they added linebacker Dre Greenlaw, also from the 49ers, on another three-year contract; Greenlaw’s physical presence addresses depth concerns exposed by Alex Singleton’s 2024 ACL injury, though he too is recovering from an Achilles issue. Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II and outside linebacker Nik Bonitto remain key pieces, but Surtain could be a Defensive Player of the Year contender in 2025 with this support. Additionally, the Denver Broncos re-signed defensive lineman D.J. Jones to a three-year, $39 million deal with $26 million guaranteed, ensuring continuity and dominance up front after his productive 2024 season. Broncos general manager George Paton also kept Matt Peart and long snapper Mitchell Fraboni, showing George Paton’s focus on depth in * Broncos free agency*.

Most of the money spent by the Denver Broncos this free agency was on strengthening an already strong defense—after all, defense wins championships in the NFL. After all the activity in the 2025 NFL Combine and free agent signings, it looks like the Denver Broncos will still be sitting with $8-10 million in cap space. Not a lot in this era of the NFL but maybe enough to pick up a depth piece or two.

 Long story short, the Denver Broncos are buying into the Bo Nix experience in 2025—are you?
