The Drive | Hour 4 | 07.20.26

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into Bo Nix and the Broncos after Nix came out at number 58 on the NFL's top-100 players list today. We hear from his teammates, competitors, and football analysts on what makes Nix so special and why he is deserving of his ranking. Is Nix still an underrated athlete compared to the other quarterbacks in the NFL? Is it fair to have Nix definitively behind Caleb Williams and Drake Maye, his fellow QB's from his draft class? We dive into the Buffs and react to ESPN's FPI analytics predicted winning probability in each of their games this season. With only being favorites in 4 of their games, would a 4-8 season be considered successful? We wrap up the show reacting to the news that the Broncos could re-hire their former defensive coach, Michael Wilhoite, after a run-in with the law at the airport in 2024.
