Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has chosen to keep his number from his college and high school days when he joins the NFL. He will wear the No. 10 jersey, which holds great significance to him, as he begins his career with the Broncos.
This decision means that other quarterbacks on the Broncos’ roster had to switch numbers. Zach Wilson, who was initially assigned the No. 10 jersey when he was traded to the Broncos from the Jets, agreed to give it up for Nix. Wilson will now wear No. 4, which was previously worn by Jarrett Stidham in Denver. Stidham will now be wearing No. 8 for this season.
The Broncos also announced jersey numbers for their other draft picks. OLB Jonah Elliss will wear No. 52, WR Troy Franklin will wear No. 16, CB Kris Abrams-Draine will wear No. 31, RB Audric Estime will wear No. 37, WR Devaughn Vele will wear No. 81, and G Nick Gargiulo will wear No. 66. Each player’s number holds personal significance as they look forward to representing the Broncos on the field.
Nix’s decision to keep his number is a testament to his loyalty and attachment to his past achievements in football
