Nix says critiques of arm strength 'here and gone'

Key Facts

- In the first visit to his new football home, Broncos quarterback Bo Nix said all those pre-draft criticisms of his arm strength are unfounded and won't hold him back as the potential future starter in Denver.
Some teams that evaluated Nix before the draft noted that almost a third of his completions were throws made to, or behind, the line of scrimmage, and that in Oregon's offense he wasn't asked to make throws to all parts of the field.
I know if you do that -- statistically speaking watching other guys in the league -- if you do that you get to play and stick around for a long time.'' Nix, with his three seasons at Auburn and two at Oregon, was one of the most experienced players in the draft.
... I would say his arm strength, you saw it at the pro day, but even at the private workout it was very good.'' Payton and general manager George Paton led a Broncos contingent that worked out Nix in a private session in Eugene, Oregon, leading up to the draft.
