Broncos QB Bo Nix provides behind-the-scenes look at offseason training
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix silenced a lot of doubters in 2024 when he led the team to the playoffs for the first time in nearly a decade. The biggest question coming into 2025 is, "Can he keep this up?" Nix is doing everything in his power to make sure the answer to that question is a resounding yes. Nix released a nine-minute video documenting two days of his offseason training on Monday, giving fans an inside look at what he has been doing to perform better than he did last season. The video, "The In Between: Bo Nix," shows Nix doing various throwing, workout and sprinting drills, all aimed to help Nix remain in top physical form going into 2025. What the video doesn't show is the extra effort Nix put in aside from these sessions. Nix reached out to NFL legends such as Drew Brees, Peyton and Eli Manning and worked with longtime throwing guru Tom House to help improve his form and his habits. "The in between is what nobody really sees, and to me, it's the most important part of the journey," said Nix in the video, speaking about the offseason. "It reflects what you're going to do in the season. So if I don't train hard, if I don't train correctly, if I don't train with the end in mind, I'm just going to go out there and kind of waste time. And yeah, it'll be difficult, it won't be fun in the moment, but when you get in the game, it makes those training moments more special." Nix's training and leadership will be a boon to a hungry Broncos organization with Super Bowl aspirations.

Colts coaching staff impressed with Anthony Gould's quiet improvement
Colts coaching staff impressed with Anthony Gould's quiet improvement originally appeared on The Sporting News Second-year wide receiver Anthony Gould may not be the biggest name on the Colts offense, but he hasn't been deterred. The Oregon State product had an uneventful rookie year. He made just one 23-yard catch on offense and had a role as a special teams return man, returning a total of 17 kicks and punts over eight appearances. This offseason, Gould has taken a step up. Offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter sees his hard work paying off. 'He put in a really good offseason of work, and it's showing here at camp,' Cooter said after Sunday's practice. 'He's playing really good ball right now…he's absolutely gotten better.' Gould has been a frequent target for both Anthony Richardson Sr. and Daniel Jones as a quick-hitting, over the middle connection for easy yards. That role is typically occupied by Josh Downs, but Gould has a similar skillset. Gould is listed a place behind Downs on the Colts first unofficial depth chart, the same position he was slotted into on last season's first depth chart. He's also listed as the primary kick and punt returner, a decision backed up by multiple reports of him fielding kicks at Grand Park. There's no telling how much of an impact Gould can have offensively in a crowded passing game, but the skillset and versatility is there to become a valuable asset in Indianapolis.
