Nix, who will already be coach Sean Payton's first rookie quarterback to start a season opener in Payton's long tenure... can be a meaningful leader for the team.
(It's) something you earn... It's unusual for a rookie to be named a captain... It's a credit to him and I think his teammates felt that he belonged in that position.
Nix won an offseason and training camp competition for the job over Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson, showcasing his talent and determination.
Nix's selection as the Broncos' captain underlines his impact already on the team, marking him as a vital piece of the franchise moving forward.
