What happened: Alex Singleton said Bo Nix is “playing out of his mind” as the regular season approaches. Teammates have delivered similarly glowing assessments throughout camp.
Why it matters: Nix’s previous season ended when a fractured right ankle kept him out of the conference title game. His performance, rather than his availability, is now the defining question entering 2026.
By the numbers: Nix’s preseason average depth of target increased by 4.3 yards per attempt.
What to watch: Regular-season defenses will provide the first meaningful test of whether the camp progress carries over.
