Bo Nix Leads 2024 Quarterback Draft Class With 31 Wins, Per PFF

The Denver Broncos took Bo Nix with the 12th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, making him the sixth quarterback selected. Through Denver’s first nine games of his third season, Nix leads that draft class in wins in a tally published by Pro Football Focus.

PFF’s comparison puts Nix first with 31 wins. New England’s Drake Maye is second with 22, followed by Chicago’s Caleb Williams with 21 and Washington’s Jayden Daniels with 16. All three were selected in the first three picks of that draft.

Nix is 31–12 in regular-season starts. Denver went 10–7 with him as a rookie, 14–3 in his second season and 7–2 through Week 9 this year. He started every regular-season game for the Broncos over that stretch.

His 31st regular-season win came Nov. 8 at Carolina. Nix completed 25 of 37 passes for 237 yards and two touchdowns as the Broncos won 26–21. Denver fell behind before putting together two long scoring drives, and the defense held after a late fumble gave the Panthers another possession.

The Carolina win was Denver’s fifth straight and its 16th consecutive regular-season victory in a game decided by one score, an NFL record. It sent the Broncos into their bye atop the AFC West with eight games left in the regular season.

The week before, Denver trailed Kansas City 24–13 entering the fourth quarter. Nix led two touchdown drives in a 28–24 win, with the second giving him 15 career game-winning drives, the most by a quarterback through his first three seasons since the 1970 merger.

Nix also has a postseason victory. He threw three touchdown passes in Denver’s overtime win over Buffalo in last season’s divisional round. That gives him 32 wins across the regular season and playoffs.

According to NFL.com, Nix threw for 3,775 yards and 29 touchdowns as a rookie, then finished his second regular season with 3,931 yards and 25 touchdowns. Through nine games this year, he has thrown for 1,730 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Six of Denver’s seven wins this season have come by one score. The Broncos have eight more games after the bye, and Nix enters the break nine wins ahead of Maye in PFF’s comparison.
