Bo Nix’s Unstoppable Rise: Can He Shatter the NFL’s Top 100 and Seize the No. 1 Spot?

Plenty of guys are wired that way. Nix has displayed in only one season the kind of talent that gives him a chance to do a lot more. This year, we’ll all see what he can do — in one of the most competitive divisions in the NFL, where he’ll be contending with the likes of Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, and Geno Smith.

Bo Nix might’ve slid in as the final quarterback snoothed off the board in the 2024 first-round draft, but don’t let that fool you — this kid’s already left a mark. After just one season under his belt, Nix snagged the No. 64 spot on the NFL’s top 100 players, a nod from the very guys who’ve been in the trenches with him. Yet, here’s the kicker: Bo’s sights aren’t set on just resting there. He’s chasing an internal fire, an unyielding standard that pushes him beyond rankings and numbers. He’s gunning to be the best, plain and simple — and trust me, in a division peppered with names like Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, and Geno Smith, that’s no small feat. This isn’t just about talent; it’s about grit, heart, and the kind of relentless ambition that refuses to quit. We’re all on the edge of our seats to see how far Nix can really take this.

After one season, he came in at No. 64 on the list of the NFL’s top 100 players.“It doesn’t really matter what you’re ranked, it’s just an internal standard that I have that I want to be the best in the world. I know there are a lot of guys that I’m competing for that with. I’m not going to stop until I at least give it my best try.”“I think it’s obviously a cool honor because that’s [what] your peers think, guys you play,” Nix told reporters on Saturday regarding his debut on the player-voted list of the NFL’s best. “At the same time, just the way I think, the way I am motivated, I want to continue to get higher. Not even for the ranking. He has much higher goals.
