Bo Nix / Denver Broncos

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix is a devout Protestant Christian who openly centers his life and football career around his religious faith. Formed by an evangelical upbringing at the Church of the Highlands in Alabama, Nix frequently states that he plays for "an audience of one"—Jesus Christ.

Visual Symbols on the Field: During every game, Nix wears an armband with a hand-drawn cross on his left wrist. He also wears a wristband reading "In Jesus' Name I Play" and uses a custom right thigh pad displaying the shape of a cross.

Pregame Worship: His official pregame routine consists exclusively of listening to a Christian worship music playlist to ease his mind and focus his intent before kickoff.

No-Cursing Commitment: As part of his personal dedication to living out his values, Nix made a commitment early in his career to avoid cursing entirely

Life Verses: His Instagram bio features the phrase "Jesus saves" alongside his favorite Bible verse, Colossians 3:23, which calls on believers to work heartily for the Lord rather than human masters. He also frequently references Matthew 5:14 ("You are the light of the world"), noting that his primary purpose on Earth is to point others to God.

Bo Nix told Tim Tebow that he was one of his biggest inspirations to become an NFL player—not just to play football, but to share the Gospel and glorify Jesus Christ through the platform God has given him.

The goal is bigger than football. Play for His glory. Live for His kingdom. Share His Gospel.

Jesus Saves!
