Hate him or love him, Kevin Durant is an NBA champion and knows what success looks like.

And when you know what success looks like, you can recognize it immediately, whether it’s a sport or a skill.

Two-time NBA champion Durant spoke enthusiastically about Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix.

Nix, who had a spectacular college career with the Auburn Tigers and Oregon Ducks, is not only a frontrunner to be named the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year, but is also on track to lead the Broncos for the first time since then the playoffs to bring their Super Bowl winning season in 2015.

With that in mind, Durant appeared on Kay Adams’ “Up & Adams” show earlier this week and described how much he liked Nix’s toughness in his first season at the helm.

So far, Nix has completed just under 65% of his passes while throwing 16 touchdowns and just six interceptions this fall. Nix will look to improve on those stats this Monday night as the Broncos look to secure their eighth win in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns.
