Colin Cowherd is a Bo Nix and Sean Payton supporter, and he has been on that train since before the 2024 NFL draft. As Payton used to be a frequent guest of his show The Herd while he spent a year away from coaching, Cowherd built up a fond respect for the Broncos coach.

Since then, Nix's stock has steadily risen within NFL media circles, and after winning his third straight Rooke of the Week award, it's perhaps reaching a critical mass. Meaning, it'll either explode and slowly regress back to a modestly rookie mean, or he'll blast through this current ceiling and enter another stratosphere.

Broncos QB Bo Nix said he is “good to go” Monday night against Cleveland after hurting his back against Las Vegas and being a limited participant in practice earlier this week.
