The 2024 NFL season has ended for the Denver Broncos. Following their elimination at the hands of the Bills, quarterback Bo Nix has revealed a shocking secret about his rookie campaign with the AFC West club.

During the 2024 NFL Draft, the Broncos decided it was time to select a new quarterback. The AFC West club used their 12th overall pick on Bo Nix, one of the most experienced prospects at the position in this class.

Nix spent five years in college (three with Auburn and two with Oregon). He entered the NFL with more experience than other quarterbacks in his class, which helped him guide the Broncos to the playoffs in his first year in the league.

“The biggest week was I had a transverse process fracture in my back,” Nix said Monday, via Mike Klis of 9News. “That week got treatment, made it through that week. Monday Night Football was a stretch where we were all kind of banged up. And I wasn’t going to miss the first Monday night game. I got treatment on it and then we were fortunate to have an off (bye) week the next week and it kind of went away after that.”
