Bo Nix upholds tradition for Broncos rookies after touchdown
Summary

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix continued his tradition of retrieving the football for rookies scoring their first touchdowns. After running back Jonah Coleman scored during the Broncos' Week 2 comeback against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Nix handed him the game ball. Coleman, who was drafted in the fourth round from Washington, celebrated with the 'Mile High Salute.' Nix had performed a similar gesture for his teammates Pat Bryant and RJ Harvey last season. Coleman is positioned for more playing time following his impressive performance, with the Broncos set to face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3.
