Former Oregon Ducks quarterback Bo Nix has drawn comparisons to Drew Brees from Broncos coach Sean Payton. The coach believes Nix possesses similar pocket presence and decision-making skills as the Saints Hall of Famer.
“You see pretty good pocket sense,” Payton said about Nix, on 104.3 The Fan. “Doesn’t take a lot of sacks. I think when he knows when the play’s over, time to go, and then, I think he can make plays when he’s going.”

Downing-USA TODAY Sports“I used to say this all the time: The sack numbers are a reflection more on the quarterback than the offensive line. Brees was one of those guys, he was a tough sack," Payton said. "The ball came out, and I think Bo has traits like that.
Another one of Payton’s former quarterbacks, Russell Wilson, was sacked an average of 44 times per season during his first 12 years in the NFL.to Brees multiple times since signing with the Denver Broncos. Back in June, Payton drew another comparison between the two play-callers. “I would say mentally, wants to know as much and as fast as he can,” Payton said. “I think there’s maybe a maturity level because, again, played 61 games and when got Drew, it was off of his rookie contract and coming off an injury.”
