Bo Nix Expresses Deep Admiration for Courtland Sutton: ‘I Learn So Much from Him’ – Teamwork and Unity of the Broncos
As the 2025 NFL season draws closer, the Denver Broncos' new quarterback Bo Nix is already making waves with his leadership and chemistry on the field. But beyond his impressive skillset, Nix has also found inspiration in one of his key teammates: wide receiver Courtland Sutton. In a recent interview, Nix opened up about his deep admiration for Sutton, noting the way the veteran wide receiver conducts himself on and off the field, and how much he’s learned from him during their time together.
“I really look up to Courtland Sutton. The way he works on the field, the way he leads, and the way he inspires the team is something that I can learn a lot from,” Nix said. “We’re a team, and all I want to do is do my part and contribute to the success of the entire team. Every time I throw the ball to Sutton, I feel that connection.”
Sutton, a veteran wide receiver for the Broncos, has been a key piece of their offense since his arrival in 2018. He’s known not just for his playmaking ability but also for his leadership and positive attitude, both of which have left a lasting impact on Nix, who is in his second year in the league. Despite being a rookie last season, Nix has quickly adjusted to life in the NFL and has developed a strong rapport with his wide receivers, especially Sutton.
Their connection has been evident in the preseason, as Sutton and Nix have been working together to build chemistry and sync up their game. This partnership has been crucial for the Broncos' offensive strategy, as Nix has relied on Sutton's leadership and experience to navigate the early stages of the season.
Sutton's leadership goes beyond just his ability to make big plays on the field. Nix mentioned that Sutton’s way of inspiring his teammates has had a profound effect on the entire team, and it’s something he aims to incorporate into his own approach as a leader.
“I watch the way Courtland carries himself, and it’s a big lesson for me,” Nix said. “It’s not just about making plays, it’s about how you show up every day, how you lead and push your teammates to be better. He’s a guy who embodies the right attitude and mentality. I want to do the same thing for this team.”
For the Broncos, having players like Nix and Sutton working in tandem is crucial to their long-term success. With a solid foundation of leadership, team chemistry, and mutual respect, the Broncos look poised to make a push for success this season. Sutton’s leadership combined with Nix’s growing abilities could form a dynamic duo that gives the Broncos a real shot at contention in the AFC West.
As Nix continues to grow and develop as a quarterback, his admiration for Sutton will no doubt play a key role in his development, not only as a player but as a leader of the Denver Broncos.
