Colin Cowherd suggests Bo Nix is best rookie QB from 2024 class

When Colin Cowherd picks a side, he picks a side. And he is standing firmly on the Bo Nix hill.

Cowherd is openly all in on the Denver Broncos‘ rookie quarterback, his pairing with head coach Sean Payton, and his wide-open offense. Nix, the 12th pick in the 2024 NFL draft, became the QB who would pick up the pieces of the Russell Wilson debacle that may have set the Broncos back.

But according to Cowherd on his “Colin Cowherd Podcast” via The Volume, the Nix draft pick will help the Broncos rebound from the last two years.

“Hot take, Bo Nix is the best quarterback this year out of this crop,” Cowherd said on a recent episode of his podcast.

That’s right, Cowherd thinks Nix could be better than Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, J.J. McCarthy and Michael Penix.

John Middlekauf, a frequent guest on the show, also noted how Payton spotted the talent of Patrick Mahomes early and was keen on drafting him before the Kansas City Chiefs drafted him in 2017. That said, Payton may know he has a diamond in the rough. Cowherd believes it, too.

Here’s to hoping Nix is spot-on with his Nix assessment.
