The Denver Broncos have named rookie Bo Nix as their starting quarterback.
Head coach Sean Payton made the announcement on Wednesday.
The Broncos selected Nix with the No. 12 pick in April’s draft out of Oregon. He’s performed well in training camp and in two preseason games and earns the starting designation ahead of Denver’s preseason finale Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
Nix wins the job over veterans Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson, whom the Broncos acquired from the New York Jets during the offseason.
This is a developing story that will be updated.
