Scouting Report: Strengths
- He’s a threat with his legs - his play-fakes are outstanding, and Nix has the ability to manipulate safeties with his eyes.
- Sprays the ball anywhere on the field, especially when given a pocket from which to deliver. Will step up into pocket while looking downfield, reset his feet and deliver.
- He’s enough of a threat as a runner to make the read-option game effective.
- Very confident passer and shows good accuracy and feel when in rhythm. Showed better ball placement from past years and throws very catchable passes. Puts too much air in some of his throws and needs to show a lower trajectory on deep throws.
- Good (not elite) arm strength and can easily make all the NFL throws with effortless deep passes.
- Gets the ball out quickly, making ·splitsecond decisions. Good short to intermediate level accuracy, demonstrating the ball placement to allow receivers to run after the catch.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Nix tends to hold the ball loosely and away from his body, putting him at risk for strip sacks.
- Nix often fails to set his feet; his stride is extremely inconsistent, leading to constant accuracy problems.
- Marginal height, which will prove more of a detriment in an offense that asks him to drop back from center more often.
