Pros

  • Dual Threat
    Sturdy build and wheels to not only be a scrambler but a true plus one as a runner with designed QB keepers
  • Off Platform Throws
  • Arm talent and accuracy shine when the launch point is moved with tight-window throws made via rolling pockets
  • Mental Toughness
    Overcame a tough start to his college career as a highly touted SEC recruit to become a Heisman finalist at Oregon

Cons

  • Late Bloomer
    Didn’t begin to show NFL capability until his second year at Oregon, nearly 5 years after his college debut
  • ADOT (Average Depth of Target)
    Very few downfield shots despite having a tremendous set of weapons and an excellent offensive line
  • One and Run
    Too often leaves the pocket or tucks and run when his primary read is covered. Will need to become a better processor at the next level. 

Eval:

Nix is truly a tale of two careers, being rebuilt in the Pacific Northwest after a tumultuous career at Auburn in the SEC.

His obvious physical talent, build and running ability make him an enticing candidate for modern offenses that look to utilize the QB run game and designed PA shots.

Teams will have concerns about the amount of time it took before things clicked for Nix as well as his lack of processing, but he checks the box as a high-character competitor that teams covet.

Floor Comp: Taysom Hill

A Swiss Army knife kind of athlete who also happens to be capable of playing QB.

Ceiling Comp: Jalen Hurts

A high-character athlete with dual-threat capabilities who can excel in the right system.
