The Broncos drafted quarterback Bo Nix 12th overall in the draft, thinking he would be their quarterback of the future, but he may already be their quarterback of the present.
Nix is ​​the betting favorite to take the first snap for the Broncos in their week one matchup against the Seahawks.
In Denver’s three-way quarterback competition, Nix is ​​a -400 favorite at DraftKings.com. Newcomer Zach Wilson is a +450 underdog, while Jarrett Stidham, who started the final two games of last season for the Broncos, has the long shot at +650.
Broncos head coach Sean Payton said toward the end of the offseason program that all three quarterbacks will compete for the job and get a chance to work with the first offense, and that Payton has no deadline to choose a starter different than before the first match.
If Nix looks good in training camp and the preseason, the job is likely his. If Wilson or Stidham got the job, it would be a disappointment.
