On Thursday night, the NFL Honors ceremony saw Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels take home the Offensive Rookie of the Year award, as expected. What wasn't anticipated, however, was Denver Broncos ' rookie phenom Bo Nix coming in third in the voting.

In a strange way… I expected it to be tough, but I was pleased with how at the end of the day it’s just football,” Bo Nix said.

Former Oregon Ducks quarterback Bo Nix had many doubters going into his rookie year in the NFL. Selected as the last of six quarterbacks to be drafted in the first round last year, there were few expectations for Nix to succeed with the Denver Broncos in his first season under head coach Sean Payton.

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix was snubbed in the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year voting, regardless if he was going to win or not.
