Easy-going Sean Payton pleased with what he's seen so far from Bo Nix

Spoiler!

ENGLEWOOD, Colo — It was a relaxed, refreshed and rejuvenated Sean Payton addressing the media here Saturday following the Broncos’ rookie minicamp practice.

All the coach needed was to get his hand-picked quarterback. In Bo Nix he’s got his man. And as rookies go, Bo is a man.

The coach was pleased with what he saw from his new QB following the 2 ½-hour rookie practice.

“Location of throws,’’ Payton said. “He had two or three down the field throws today. It’s almost like watching a good golfer. Sometimes when you watch his game over two years, there’s a patience to how he plays. The ball comes out. I don’t want to use the term boring that’s not the right term yet pretty good decisions with each play, the efficiency and how he’s operating. All of that.”

An example of a less edgy Payton this year: He moved the media viewing area from the distant backside of the berm to along the concrete portion surrounding both practice fields, much closer to the action.

There were even donuts served to reporters before the practice and sandwiches were provided after the locker room interviews. Last year there was the occasional pizza Friday during the regular season and that’s about it. Not that the media is complaining. But it is grateful about the more amiable approach. What’s got into the coach?

Bo Nix, that’s what.
