The Broncos rookie QB had a stellar first year in Sean Payton's offense, finishing as the QB9 overall and in points per game (19). Nix threw 30 TDs and rushed for nearly 500 yards and four scores on the ground. From Week 8 on, the Denver signal caller was hitting over 21 points per game.
Even so, Nix averaged fewer than 20 points per game in the season's entirety. Also, he had a 31% bust rate that was tied for the highest among top 10 finishers.
If Denver finds its "joker" on offense this season, we could see the 25-year-old second-year QB improve. Especially with his nucleus of top WRs returning from last season.
