The Broncos have announced their captains and, for the first time in what feels like an eternity, the group includes a rookie.
A New Dawn for Denver: Enter Bo Nix
In a move that’s sure to send shockwaves through the Mile-High City, quarterback Bo Nix has been named a captain. Selected at No. 12 overall this spring, Nix not only earned the respect of his peers but also clinched the starting quarterback role during camp. It’s no small feat for a 24-year-old to step into the hallowed halls of Broncos history. Nix is the first Broncos rookie to earn captaincy honors since 1967, a year that saw the legendary Floyd Little—a bona fide Hall of Famer—earn the same distinction. Talk about big shoes to fill!
Veterans and Fresh Faces
Joining Nix are five other captains who will help steer the Broncos’ ship this season:
- Receiver Courtland Sutton – The seasoned pro remains a captain for the fourth consecutive season.
- Guard Quinn Meinerz
- Cornerback Pat Surtain II
- Linebacker Alex Singleton
- Kicker Wil Lutz
Of this stellar crew, Meinerz, Surtain, Singleton, and Lutz are first-time captains for the franchise, but don’t let their debut status fool you. This quintet is ready to tackle the gridiron challenges head-on.
A Season Kickoff Against the Seahawks
The Broncos are revving their engines and are all set to kick off their season in the breathtaking landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. This Sunday, they go toe-to-toe with the revamped Seahawks. Call it a clash of the titans or just another Sunday in the NFL—either way, it’s bound to be a game drenched in adrenaline and packed with drama.
So, sit tight and hold onto your hats, Broncos Nation. This season promises to be nothing short of a wild rollercoaster ride, filled with ups, downs, and everything in between. ¡Vamos con todo!
