After being overlooked in last year's quarterback rankings, Bo Nix is finally getting the recognition he deserves. ProFootballFocus (PFF) has released its 2025 quarterback rankings, and the Denver Broncos' signal-caller has made a significant leap—climbing seven spots to land at No. 13 overall, and sixth among AFC quarterbacks.

Last season, PFF analyst John Kosko ranked Nix 19th out of 32 quarterbacks, despite an impressive rookie campaign. This year, Mason Cameron's updated list places Nix between Jared Goff (11th) and Caleb Williams (14th), a testament to his historic performance during the 2025-2026 season. Nix broke records nearly every game, leading the Broncos to the AFC Championship and coming within a play of a potential Super Bowl appearance before an injury sidelined him.

What's behind the surge? Cameron highlighted Nix's exceptional ability to avoid sacks. "The Broncos' offense was among the units to surrender the fewest sacks in the NFL this season," Cameron wrote. "While a stout offensive line hosting a pair of first-team All-Pros is well deserving of the credit they receive, Bo Nix is also worthy of praise for his ability to avoid the take down. Nix's 3.0% sack rate finished as an NFL-best, as his just 9.5% pressure-to-sack rate charted second among all qualifying passers."

Still, a No. 13 finish leaves room for debate. With Denver's dominant run last year—and a healthy Nix for a full season—fans are left wondering what it will take to crack the top 10. If the 2026-2027 campaign mirrors last year's electric pace, expect Nix to climb even higher on next year's list.

For Broncos fans, this ranking is just the beginning. Whether you're gearing up for game day or tracking Nix's rise, now's the time to show your support with the latest Denver Broncos gear—because a top-10 finish might be just around the corner.
