“I didn’t do a whole lot of the scouting [on Nix]," Broncos right tackle Mike McGlinchey said after the 2024 season. "I think once we got around him in the building for a week or two — a couple weeks in April — you’re like, ‘Oh man, this kid is made of the right stuff.’"

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.
