Was So Harsh on This Kid Before' -- Former Chargers DT Admits He Was Wrong About Bo Nix, Predicts Top-10 Finish

Breiden Fehoko, a former Los Angeles Chargers defensive tackle, is revisiting his assessment of Bo Nix after watching the Denver Broncos quarterback during preseason work. Fehoko said he had been “too harsh” on the signal-caller and believes Nix has a credible route to becoming a top-10 quarterback. He pointed to the pocket protection Nix received and noted Denver’s investment on the offensive line. The Broncos are returning their starting unit, ranked 6th entering 2026 by PFN’s Jacob Infante, and Infante added that a Super Bowl run is possible if Nix keeps developing. Nix started all 17 games in 2025, posting 3,931 yards, 25 TDs and 11 interceptions, plus 356 rushing yards and five rushing scores. Denver also added Jaylen Waddle to pair with Courtland Sutton. Nix, however, is coming off a fractured ankle that ended his previous playoff run, and his top-10 push faces a tough schedule starting Sept. 14 at Kansas City, followed by additional meetings with the Chiefs plus games vs. the Rams, 49ers, Bills and Chargers.
