Colin Cowherd is a very vocal person, especially when it deals with the Denver Broncos and Sean Payton. When Payton was out of coaching back in 2022, he was a guest on Cowherd's show, and it does seem like the two men have some sort of relationship.
Cowherd seemed to initially be high on Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos back in 2024, perhaps more than other people who thought the Broncos were going to be dreadful. Well, Denver has won 22 regular season games since the start of Nix's career, and it's clear that Nix is a franchise QB.
