In the second quarter of Sunday’s game between the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs, CBS play-by-play commentator Kevin Harlan dropped a doozy of a nugget from the pre-draft process.
Harlan relayed that Broncos coach Sean Payton told them he knew quarterback Bo Nix was “his guy” after 15 passes at a private workout this spring. That’s not new information; Payton has said as much in the past.
But this is new information — Harlan said Denver had “[Nix] and [Jayden] Daniels rated one-two and in no particular order.”
If true, that means the Broncos had Nix ranked higher than both Caleb Williams and Drake Maye on their big board this spring.
Harlan’s info straight from Payton contradicts a KOA Radio report from this spring that said Denver had Nix ranked as QB3 behind Williams and Daniels. Somebody’s lying, and it’s impossible to know who.
Nix and Daniels have certainly looked sharp this fall, scoring 14 and 13 touchdowns, respectively, through the first ten weeks of the season.
