Entering his second season as the Denver Broncos' starting quarterback, former Oregon Duck Bo Nix is receiving praise from one of his veteran offensive linemen in regards to his character on and off the field.

In his first seven seasons as the Denver Broncos’ left offensive tackle, Garett Bolles blocked for 12 starting quarterbacks, including two rookies. In his eighth season, Bolles blocked for one starting quarterback – rookie Bo Nix – and the tackle reached the NFL playoffs for the first time.

Bo Nix didn't get much of a break during college offseasons, and he appreciated his first extended break in the NFL.
