John Elway makes a striking comparison of Patrick Mahomes to Bo Nix
Denver Broncos legend John Elway recently compared second-year quarterback Bo Nix with three-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes.
During an interview with Netflix about his upcoming documentaryElway praised the Broncos’ coaches and their coordination with the Knicks. Comparing Knicks to Mahomes, Elway claimed the 30-year-old “was great.” Highlighting the differences in coaching, Elways said,
“Obviously (Patrick) Mahomes has been great. He’s a tremendous talent, but he’s also blessed with a great head coach in Andy Reid — it’s very important for young quarterbacks to have a head coach and an offensive coordinator who are on the same page.
“There, Sean Payton is doing a tremendous job with Bo Nix. I think Nix has a very bright future. He’s going to be a great player in this league,” Elway said.
He further elaborated: “His maturity level, you see it grow week by week. Jackson Dart in New York — he’s going through a coaching change, but as long as he keeps his nose to the grindstone and keeps his focus on football, which I’m sure he will, he’s shown a lot of good things.”
The 25-year-old Nix began his NFL career with the Denver Broncos in the 2024 season. The up-and-coming quarterback has already established himself as a key part of the team. Meanwhile, Mahomes’ 2025 season with the Kansas City Chiefs has been a bumpy ride, with his recent injury booking him for a long rehabilitation process.
Last week, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes went down during the team’s Week 15 loss. Mahomes left the game with a torn ACL. The three-time Super Bowl champion tore the ACL in his left knee against the Los Angeles Chargers on Dec. 14, 2025. The injury was caused by hyperextension and can exclude him from action in nearly “nine to 12 months” (via Sports Illustrated).
