Bo Nix 40 Time

Projected 40 Time: 4.60 seconds

Bo Nix is a four-year starter at quarterback. He played three seasons at Auburn, before transferring to Oregon for the 2022 season. He possesses solid height and weight for the quarterback position in the NFL. Our projected 40 time of 4.60 seconds is several tenths quicker than the league average for quarterbacks.

Nix displays a good accuracy on short and intermediate throws, as well as those thrown into the flats and behind the line of scrimmage. Does a nice job of stepping up into the pocket to avoid outside pressure off the edge. Shows to have good velocity on intermediate throws to outside the numbers, as well as those made across the field. Throws with good anticipation and places the ball as the receiver comes out of the break on the route.

However, he does possess an adequate ability to progress through his reads and make the best possible throw. Will miss an open receiver in lieu of one that’s heavily covered. As a result, he displays a poor ability to throw intermediate passes into double or triple coverage. Outside of the pocket, he’s an awkward runner with poor balance when changing directions. Lacks an ability to keep his feet moving inside the pocket.
