Former Broncos Receiver Just Added Fuel To The Bo Nix Debate

Despite Bo Nix's promising rank above Lamar Jackson, former teammates and analysts cast doubt on his standing among NFL quarterbacks.

Former Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has made his feelings clear on the latest Bo Nix debate, and he did it without saying a word.

Jeudy liked an Instagram post from former collegiate athlete and internet personality Cam Wilder that took aim at the Broncos quarterback after Nix was ranked 59th in the NFL Top 100 Players ahead of the 2026 season, 10 spots ahead of Lamar Jackson. Wilder’s caption on the post read, "This (expeltive) is getting outta hand gang," and Jeudy’s like added another layer to the reaction around the ranking.

The comparison has been floating around since ESPN’s "Get Up" featured host Mike Greenberg last week arguing whether Nix was better than Jackson. Nix’s rise came after a strong second season in Denver in 2025, while Jackson’s year was hampered by injuries.

Jeudy, who spent four seasons with the Broncos before being traded to the Cleveland Browns in March 2024, never shared a locker room with Nix. The quarterback was selected in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft after Jeudy had already moved on.

The ranking conversation has also drawn pushback from Fox Sports analyst Jason McIntyre, who said he wasn’t buying the idea that Nix belongs among the league’s top 10 quarterbacks.

"Any thoughts that he's a top 10 QB - I think we need to pump the brakes. The biggest question mark about the Broncos heading into this year is Bo Nix," McIntyre said.

He also zeroed in on Nix’s passing limitations.

"Why doesn't Bo Nix throw to the middle?" McIntyre said. "Why can't he throw deep?"

Last season, Nix ranked 24th in completion percentage on throws of 15 or more air yards, finishing at 36.7%, and he threw six interceptions on deep passes.

4 Broncos Entering Camp With No Room For Error

With training camp set to open July 28, the Broncos are heading into the kind of summer where every rep matters for players living on the edge of the roster. Jarrett Stidham, Jaleel McLaughlin, Tyler Badie and Drew Sanders all enter camp with little margin for error, whether the concern is performance, contract math or simply staying healthy long enough to make a case.

Stidhams situation is especially delicate because the Broncos have to decide how much value to place on a veteran backup quarterback spot, while McLaughlin and Badie are fighting for survival in a crowded backfield. Sanders, meanwhile, still has to prove he can carve out a clear role after injuries and uncertainty have slowed his progress, and the coaching staffs evaluation over the next few weeks will go a long way toward deciding which of these names is still on the board when the roster gets trimmed.

Former Broncos Draft Pick Gets Another Shot After Frustrating Fall

Damarri Mathis is getting another crack at an NFL roster after a frustrating stretch that has followed him since his time in Denver. The cornerback, drafted by the Broncos in 2022, lost his starting role, was released in 2025 and then landed with Carolina, where his next opportunity vanished almost immediately.

Mathis signed a contract in July 2026 ahead of training camp, giving him a fresh opening to try to reset his career. At 27, the path back is getting narrower, and this latest move carries the feel of a chance he may not get many more times. [Read more 🡒]

Broncos Camp Shuffle Raises Early Concern At Two Unsettled Positions

The Broncos first offseason roster shuffle brought a little early caution to two spots that were already going to be watched closely. Offensive guard Nick Gargiulo was placed on Active/Physically Unable to Perform as he continues working back from the ACL injury he suffered last preseason, while linebacker Jordan Turner landed on Active/Non-Football Injury and can return once medically cleared.

Both players are still in the mix for depth jobs on the 53-man roster, which is what makes their status worth monitoring now rather than later. Gargiulo was competing for a valuable reserve role on the interior line, and Turner was part of a crowded linebacker group, so any missed time this early only adds more intrigue to two battles that were already unsettled.
