Colin Cowherd Makes Bold Claim About Former Oregon QB Bo Nix
Fox Sports analyst Colin Cowherd shared some opinions with his audience during an episode of "The Herd" on Tuesday, singing the praises of former Oregon Duck and current Denver Bronco Bo Nix.
In a 56-second clip posted to TikTok and various other social media platforms, Cowherd could be heard listing Nix's strengths and explaining why he believes the Broncos' signal-caller could be their next franchise quarterback.
"There's nothing here that doesn't look like a star, franchise quarterback, and this is probably the worst roster he'll ever have," Cowherd said. "Arm is better than we think, super athletic, calm but confident, with a great coach."
Cowherd partially credits Denver head coach Sean Payton for the early success of his rookie quarterback. Nix has thrown for 2,548 yards and 16 touchdowns compared to just six interceptions so far this season.
"It's like boxing and having a great cornerman," Cowherd said. "And I think that's what Bo Nix has."
In his last two games alone, the former Duck has tallied nearly 600 yards and six touchdowns through the air, entering offensive rookie of the year conversations.
"This is not dink-and-dunk stuff. He is aggressive," Cowherd said. "On passes 15-plus yards down the field against the Raiders, he had a 129 passer rating. In fact, his last five games, Bo Nix, throwing 10-plus yards down the field, has a 127 passer rating."
In the last two weeks, Nix's rookie of the year odds have improved from as poor as +3000 to just +110 according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
"All the numbers are telling you," Cowherd said. "The game's not too fast, he's not overwhelmed, he's not throwing bad picks and he's throwing the ball down the field."
Nix will hope to justify Cowherd's praises as the Broncos host the Cleveland Browns on Monday. Kickoff is set for 5:15 p.m. PST and the game will air on ESPN.
