Bo Nix ranked 59th in NFL Top 100, sparking Lamar Jackson debate

2026-07-21 · Bo Nix · Player Focus

Bo Nix has been ranked 59th in the NFL Top 100 list for 2025, sparking fresh debate about his standing compared to Lamar Jackson. The Broncos quarterback earned the spot based on peer voting, placing him 10 spots above the two-time MVP.

What does the ranking mean for Bo Nix?

The ranking reflects Nix's breakthrough 2025 season, where he threw for 3,931 yards and 25 touchdowns. His clutch performances earned particular praise, with teammate Patrick Surtain II noting a visible transformation when the Broncos needed late-game heroics. This recognition from fellow players adds weight to the growing narrative about Nix's potential.

Why the Lamar Jackson comparison?

The debate intensified after Colin Cowherd's recent comments favoring Nix over Jackson. Now, the NFL Top 100 rankings have added fuel to the fire, with Nix's higher placement suggesting his peers see him as a rising star. The gap in rankings has become a talking point as both quarterbacks prepare for the 2026 season.

What’s next for Bo Nix and the Broncos?

While Nix's fourth-quarter heroics earned him this ranking, the Broncos need him to elevate his entire game. Coach Sean Payton has emphasized the need for stronger starts, and Nix himself has acknowledged this focus. If he can maintain his late-game magic throughout full matches, Denver could become a serious contender in 2026.

Nix's ranking at 59 is just the beginning. With a full offseason to refine his game, he has the potential to climb even higher in next year's list. The Broncos' strong defense, combined with an improved offense, could make them one of the NFL's most complete teams.
