Despite putting up such a big rookie season, Nix has received a shockingly bad prediction from an ESPN analyst. Seth Walder of ESPN revealed a head-turning future prediction for Denver. He believes that Nix will be out as the team's quarterback in 2027.

That's now how Seth Walder of ESPN sees it. In an article discussing teams' future power rankings, analysts were asked to make a bold prediction for the future. Here was Walder's bold prediction for the Broncos:

In his first season, Nix threw for more yards and more touchdowns than 2024 NFL MVP Josh Allen, leading the Broncos to their first postseason appearance in nearly a decade. It will remain to be seen how Nix performs in the coming seasons, but with his trajectory, it's hard to imagine Walder being accurate in his assessment. Time will tell, indeed.
