Peyton Manning and several former Denver Broncos teammates were in town on the eve of the 2026 NFL draft for a "Night of Champions" event, giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at the 2015 Super Bowl season at Paramount Theater.
Before the event, Manning spoke to several members of the media. Bo Nix, of course, was a topic.
Manning said he saw Nix at the Masters, and the third-year quarterback "looked good" coming off a broken ankle that ended his 2025 playoff run. "I think that will push him even harder and make him even hungrier this year," Manning said, via the Denver Post's Parker Gabriel.
Manning also touched on the Jaylen Waddle trade.
"I'm certainly curious who the Broncos are going to draft," Manning said. "I know we don't have a [first-round pick] because of Jaylen Waddle. Which, what a great pickup that was."
The Broncos went 14-3 last season and clinched the No. 1 playoff seed in the AFC playoffs. They were knocked out in the AFC Championship game after losing Nix to a broken ankle in the divisional round.
