Bo Nix was ranked 19th in the latest PFF quarterback rankings.
What happened?
The ranking has sparked debate among NFL analysts, with some questioning why Nix was ranked so low.
Chad Jensen, a writer for Sports Illustrated, expressed his disagreement with the ranking, asking what more Nix had to do to get respect.
Why it matters for Bo Nix
Nix is coming off a 14-3 regular-season record, tying the Broncos franchise record, and has outpaced his 2024 draft peers in passing yards, touchdowns, and regular-season career wins.
He is also tied with Russell Wilson for the winningest start to a QB career at the end of Year 2, and is the only QB in league history to post over 7,500 passing yards, 50-plus passing touchdowns, and 20-plus wins in his first two years.
What comes next?
Nix will be coming back from an injury that saw him undergo 2 separate procedures, and is expected to participate fully in the preseason training camps.
He earned an 89.3 clean-pocket passing grade, ranking seventh in the NFL, and also ranked third with a 78.1 grade when throwing to his next read, showing elite progression skills.
Jensen took exception to a handful of quarterbacks PFF ranked higher than Nix, including C.J. Stroud, who was ranked 17th despite having a 62.0 overall passing grade.
The ranking has been met with criticism, with some arguing that PFF's grades do not reflect the actual performance of the quarterbacks, and that Nix's stats and record warrant a higher ranking.
