In the summer of 2025, Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix was preparing for his sophomore season in the NFL. Just one year ago, Nix had a breakout rookie campaign, leading the Broncos to a 10-7 record while finishing top-15 in several key passing stats.
Rather than resting on his laurels, Nix was eager to continue improving. This offseason, he had the unique opportunity to train with NFL legend Drew Brees. Nix revealed that he learned invaluable lessons from Brees, including the veteran quarterback's daily routine and how he cared for his body.
However, the most important takeaway for Nix was understanding the mental side of the game. "It's the mental side of the game, that's what speeds your growth up," Nix said. "It's all about what goes on in the mind, how you handle adversity, how you handle good things, bad things, how you handle a locker room, how you handle a huddle."
