The Denver Broncos wrapped up their final training camp practice on Wednesday, and get this: Bo Nix is not just healthy, he’s full-throttle, proving he’s ready to light up their Week 1 matchup against those divisional rivals, the Kansas City Chiefs. After being a limited participant at mandatory minicamp, and with plenty of whispers about his ankle, Nix showed up Day 1 of camp and never looked back.

Nix is Locked In, Ready to Go Off

Seriously, Nix took every single first-team rep in team drills and never missed a session the entire camp. Folks had concerns, wanting to see him move freely, and he delivered, confirming he’s absolutely at 100 percent. This isn’t just about being healthy, though. We’ve seen Nix level up every single season, and he absolutely went off late last year, even in the playoffs against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Now, with newly promoted offensive coordinator Davis Webb calling plays, things could get wild. Nix and Webb have a tight relationship, and that means fresh ideas, aggressive plays, and hopefully, a much-improved offense. Plus, adding star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, who is a straight-up home run threat every time he touches the ball, just opens up everything. This is the year Nix shuts down the haters and stakes his claim as one of the league’s top quarterbacks.

Pat Bryant Just Ran Away With the WR3 Spot

If there was a breakout star this camp, it’s gotta be second-year wide receiver Pat Bryant. He walked into camp fighting Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin for the WR3 spot, and he didn’t just win it, he absolutely dominated. Bryant was the storyline of almost every single practice, quickly becoming Nix’s most trusted target over the two weeks. Veteran Courtland Sutton was on load management, missing some days, and both Jaylen Waddle and Marvin Mims were out for over a week with minor injuries. That left Bryant out there constantly, performing his butt off, and literally just running away with the job. Head Coach Sean Payton was even asked, “How the hell are you going…” about it, which tells you everything you need to know about his performance.

It’s all building towards that Week 1 showdown against the Chiefs. With Nix looking sharp and Bryant emerging as a legitimate weapon, the Broncos are going into their season opener with some serious momentum. It’ll be huge to see if this camp performance translates onto the field when the games actually count!
