Bo Nix’s wife Izzy drops 3-word message reminiscing Broncos QB’s 2024 draft day experience

Izzy Nix, wife of Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix, shared a nostalgic message looking back at her husband's NFL draft experience from last year.

Bo was selected 12th in 2024. The couple met in 2020 when Bo played for Auburn, where Izzy was a cheerleader. They married in 2022 before Bo completed his collegiate career at Oregon.

On Thursday, exactly one year after Bo was drafted, Izzy reshared a tribute video of his draft selection on her Instagram story. The video showed the emotional moment when the QB received the life-altering news surrounded by family and Izzy.

"1 year ago," Izzy wrote.

Bo signed a fully guaranteed four-year rookie contract worth $18.6 million, including a $10.36 million signing bonus, and was named Denver's Week 1 starter — the first rookie QB to open a season for the Broncos since John Elway in 1983.

Bo Nix's rookie campaign was exceptional despite facing skepticism from analysts, including FS1's Nick Wright. He played through three transverse process fractures in his back, which he sustained in November. Nix threw for 3,775 yards and 29 touchdowns while adding 430 rushing yards and four rushing scores.

The Oregon graduate shattered numerous records. In November, he passed for a career-best 307 yards and four TDs against the Atlanta Falcons. He became the first rookie QB in NFL history to have completed more than 80% of his passes and passed for at least four TDs and 300 yards in a single game. Nix's great October effort with five wins tied an NFL record for victories by a rookie QB in one month.

With the 2025 NFL draft set to begin on Thursday, there has been talk that Nix could reunite with former Oregon teammate Terrance Ferguson. The Athletic's Dane Bugler projects Ferguson to join the Broncos as the No. 85 pick. This potentially gives Nix a familiar target from his college days. Ferguson caught more TDs from Nix than any other QB during his Ducks career.
