As the Denver Broncos prepare for the 2025 NFL season, optimism is growing around quarterback Bo Nix’s leadership and growth with Denver Broncos. During offseason activities, including OTAs and minicamp, Nix’s confidence and development have impressed his teammates and coaches, fueling hopes for a major turnaround. Left tackle Garett Bolles expressed strong belief that Nix can guide Denver back to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2016.
Garett Bolles on Nix’s Leadership and Potential
Bolles, a veteran of the Broncos who has spent his entire eight-year NFL career in Denver, praised Nix’s qualities as a quarterback. Despite witnessing many players come and go, Bolles highlighted Nix as an exceptional talent with the right mindset to lead a championship-caliber team.
“His composure, his demeanor, his work ethic – everything about him,”
Bolles said.
“He has all the clue, the demeanor and everything you can think of in a quarterback that can lead your team to a Super Bowl. I’m so grateful I get to block for him.”
Bolles also described Nix as a remarkable athlete with a special gift that sets him apart from others.
“Bo is a freak of nature,”
Bolles added, emphasizing Nix’s rare combination of skills and determination.
Bolles’ Journey and Role with the Broncos
Selected by Denver in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, Bolles has experienced the ups and downs of NFL life. Early in his career, he struggled with frequent holding penalties, accumulating at least six per season in his first three years. However, his dedication to improvement drastically reduced those infractions to 14 over the past five years.
Bolles has started in nearly every game across five NFL seasons and rarely misses time due to injury. Over the years, he has grown into a fan favorite and a respected leader in the locker room, choosing to make Denver his home with his family.
Community Impact Beyond the Field
Off the field, Bolles is known for his kindness and community involvement, particularly through his free GB3 camp designed to introduce children to football and bring joy to their lives. It reflects his commitment to giving back and sharing the positive values that the sport can teach.
Bolles views his role protecting Nix as a privilege and is thankful for the opportunity to support the young quarterback as he continues to grow.
Looking Ahead to the 2025 Season
With Nix showing strong development and Bolles firmly anchoring the offensive line, the Broncos are gaining attention as a potential dark horse contender in the AFC. Bolles’ faith in Nix’s growth and leadership underscores the team’s rising confidence as they aim to end a near-decade-long Super Bowl drought.
The coming season will be critical for Denver’s hopes, with the quarterback’s maturation seen as a key factor that could return the Broncos to championship contention.
