i don't know who needs to see this, but on your videos you need to be careful because the graphics that you put up are changing the video levels from VIDEO to FULL. Look at the Bo Nix video as an example. When the graphics come off the color balance shifts because the alpha channel on the graphics is causing the black levels to reach FULL levels. When the graphics aren't up, the video returns to VIDEO levels and the picture looks washed out. Someone isn't exporting the videos properly so that it's FULL the entire way through the videos. Just one Editor to yours.

This guy seems very well spoken and very genuine. Hope he does well at wherever he goes. Denver seems like a good fit.

[@kingjosephrbidenjriii5820]

Don't see this guy being great,but don't see a bust either. Kirk cousins maybe....saying that w respect. Rooting for him

[@user-en9qd5nx8w]

The connection with Payton makes sense. He's got a very dialed in offense and needs someone to do exactly as they're expected. When it's clicking its a great offense. Only problem for Bo would be that the Broncos may be the next Panthers, they will likely be bottom dwelling for a while.

[@heavymetallabrat]

​​@@user-en9qd5nx8wIts possible but the ownership of both teams is vastly different. Denver also has sean Payton acively rebuilding from the ground up. Ive been watching the moves and it looks like theyre focusing on building a foundation. There's a real world scenario where denver doesnt pick a QB at all this year and focuses on building up depth and talent. The sheer cost of leaving wilson absolutely hurts but by doing it now, it gives us 120 million in cap space next season.Thats a lot of free agent power next year.

Some of my favorite NFL KZbinrs are down on him and I hate it. I hope he lands in a good situation and proves them wrong.

I am a Broncos fan and after see this interview want Denver to draft Bo Nix. The way he speaks is amazing. Yes he is older (24), but I think that age will help him. I could be wrong, but he looks like he will never be someone that will in trouble off the field.

[@cowboy67501]

I'm also a Broncos fan, I was leaning towards JJ because he's smart. But after this interview, I think Bo could be the man. 5 offense coordinators in 5 years???? 5 new playbooks? This guy is smart! Dad is a college coach, he grew up eating, breathing, and shitting football.

[@michaelpelchat5579]

I can’t remember if Colin spoke to college players as frequently last season, if not then he should definitely do it more often.

[@Quirome]

I think it’s because there’s so much projected talent in this years draft.

[@CtrlDGame]

I remember he spoke to Baker and Sam Darnold before they came out

[@GoatedAtNFS]

he did with Kyler Murray and Baker

[@user-en9qd5nx8w]

I do feel like some of his questions are a bit disrespectful. Like when he tried to bait Caleb into throwing is O-line under the bus.

[@asphyxiafeeling]

@@user-en9qd5nx8w I think that's by design. The question was a test, and Caleb passed it with flying colors. All the owners and GMs are watching these interviews, they're like test runs to see how these players will be able to handle the media once they're in the league. Imagine if Caleb bombed that question? It would have raised some red flags for teams!

[@seanriley3094]

I wasn’t sold on this kid at first, but as a Bronco fan, the more I learn about this kid, the more i want him to lead my Broncos

[@jimbo92107]

Another good reason for Bo to play for Denver: Mile-high stadium will add ten yards to his deep ball, and more zip to his outs and ups.

[@joshdh46]

Lol, that's not how it works. Very minor difference. The coors field numbers are due to the biggest outfield in baseball, NOT, because an increase of Homer's. It's gappers and blooper singles. It makes a minor minor difference, especially with a football. Also, Bo has pleeeeenty of arm strength. Go watch Auburn tape

[@78LedHead]

You turn on the Utah tape and Bo Nix has a little Steve Young to his game. He can slip right through a collapsing pocket and gash you. Excellent decision maker too. No top QB in this draft has a better understanding of pro style concepts than Bo. Oregon put a lot on his plate and he responded with a Heisman caliber season. He's got touch, he has pre snap chops, and his arm is just fine (and can be even better if you tweak his footwork and mechanics). Oh, and the dude can run and he's great down on the goal line, following blocks and squirting through little seams. He'll get you 5 or 6 rushing TD's per year.
