Broncos’ Evan Engram Hails Bo Nix’s Mentality, Predicts Inevitable Success for Young QB

In a recent chat at Tight End University in Vanderbilt, Denver Broncos' newest addition, Evan Engram, couldn’t hold back his excitement about his young quarterback, Bo Nix. Engram, who inked a hefty two-year, $23 million deal this offseason, is already seeing sparks of greatness in the rookie-turned-sophomore QB.

What’s got Engram so hyped? It’s not just Nix’s arm or his stats—though nearly 4,000 passing yards, 29 touchdowns, and a knack for running up 430 yards last season are nothing to sneeze at. It’s Nix’s mental game that’s blowing Engram away. "The way he’s wired upstairs in the brain is really impressive for a kid coming into his second year," Engram shared. He’s struck by Nix’s leadership, the way he talks to himself and his teammates, and the sheer determination in his daily grind. In Engram’s words, success for someone with that mindset is simply "inevitable."

Coming off a playoff run in 2024 under Sean Payton’s guidance, the Broncos proved they’re a force in the tough AFC West, with Nix’s fearless and consistent play as a cornerstone. Engram, still settling into the Mile High vibe, also raved about the team’s energy and camaraderie during OTAs. "The accountability, the talent, the coaches—we’ve got something special," he said, clearly thrilled by how quickly his new teammates have embraced him.

As Engram transitions from his days with the Jacksonville Jaguars, it’s clear he’s found a home in Denver, and he’s betting big on Nix to lead the charge. If mental toughness and work ethic are any indicators, the Broncos might just have a winning formula on their hands.
