Since then, Nix's stock has steadily risen within NFL media circles, and after winning his third straight Rooke of the Week award, it's perhaps reaching a critical mass. Meaning, it'll either explode and slowly regress back to a modestly rookie mean, or he'll blast through this current ceiling and enter another stratosphere.

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix was limited in practice with a back injury ahead of a MNF matchup against Cleveland Browns in Week 13.

Nix, the 12th overall pick in the NFL draft this spring, continues to build a resume that could see him named NFL’s offensive rookie of the year. If he wins that award, he would be the first Broncos player to do so since running back Clinton Portis in 2002.

Nix became the first Broncos player to ever win the award three times in a row, according to the organization. He surpassed the previous mark, set by Tim Tebow with two consecutive wins, and is sitting at second place in total Rookie of the Week awards behind Knowshon Moreno who won the award a total of four times in 2009.

There is a lot for Denver Broncos fans to be excited about and chief among them has to be the play of rookie Bo Nix.
