Go off of. And let’s throw the Senior Bowl in there for the 62nd start as well. A great point right there. That’s uh David Morse QB country running this workout for Bo. Snapping him the ball. And he gets that first one out there quick. And you know Mark I am kind of

Curious from your perspective, uh, you know, having been an NFL front offices like DJ here, how the league do you think views that experience for Nix. Because we’ve seen players, albeit ones, you know, that were drafted lower than where Nix is expected to go, really kind of have a

Benefit earlier in their career from that expanded, you know, catalog of starts like, you know, Brock Purdy, uh, Dorian Thompson-robinson, Aidan O’Connell and company. So how do you think those 61 starts play for Nix? Well, definitely coaches love guys with experience. You know scouts look for that. There’s been

Definitely a lot of studies that show X amount of starts equals X amount of wins in the NFL. But you know getting back to the production and the playing time, the coaches love that security and the guy that knows what he’s doing. And as DJ mentioned, it seems like we’ve been watching

Bo Nix for ten years now. I mean, and he started he started as a freshman in 2019 at Auburn. You know, and we really have been almost watching him that long. And that’s something to be said that he jumped in. There was supposed to be the next big

Thing after cam and all that didn’t play out. But now he’s resurrected his career second chance, become highly productive . So the total body of work coaches are going to feel really comfortable with that. And also, you know, this guy’s a son of a coach. You know, he played for

His dad, uh, in high school. So coaches love that too. In a quarterback in particular coaches sons, they feel like this guy can jump in there right away. He’s going to know the offense. He’s going to be able to dial it all up. We don’t have to worry about those things now.

Whether he’s good enough, he has to show that. But as far as handling the game mentally, I think there’s a lot of confidence in Bo Nix from the NFL circles with coaches and scouting staffs and say, yep, he can do it. A DJ. We’ve seen a

Lot of Bo right in this run up to the draft. Thus far. Going back to mobile, where you did a real nice job at the senior Bowl down there. And then, you know, going to the combine. He was one of that kind of upper tier group of quarterbacks like Michael

Penix and J.J. McCarthy, to get out there and again throw, you know, for NFL evaluators, what would you really want to see from him in this setting at a pro day? Well I look again, I think I had a chance to see see everything you need to see. I

Think he has enough arm. I don’t think he has a over powering huge arm. We saw that next to Penix like Penix was a little birthday, but he has enough to make every type of throw that you’re going to be asked to make at the next level. I was just

Kind of chuckling to myself a second ago. We had his stats rolling across the bottom of the screen, like just how ridiculous that looks. The numbers that he posted this season at Oregon. Yeah. It’s ridiculous. And Mark was talking about his, you know, starting his career at Auburn that first game. He played

Against Justin Herbert. It was against Justin Herbert and Oregon. Like think about Justin Herbert. Feels like he’s been in the NFL forever. He’s already got his second contract. Just beat him. Yeah. No absolutely. And I, I love the fact he went through some adversity there. Uh at Auburn. He got better each

And every year throughout his college career, culminating in the numbers you see on the screen right there. Uh, and won a ton of games. So what I’m looking for in this workout, Rhett, I mean, I guess confirmation of what you’ve seen on the tape, which is someone

Who’s got he’s got some life in his lower half. Um, he’s he’s someone who’s really, really accurate, especially underneath intermediate. Uh, maybe some of these deep balls you can crank out as he puts one on the money. There But, Mark, I don’t know that, you know, I don’t know

That he has questions that need to be answered. I think you you have a very clear picture of who he is. D.J. Rhett, his the bar is low for Bo Nix today. Just don’t be the first quarterback back in pro day history to mess it up. It just don’t do that.

You know he’s you know these guys are so drilled with with this right now. They have got these quarterback rooms that they work with their receivers. Now it’s not like back in the day where it was a little bit more of a hey get out there and just throw I mean they they’ve

Been practicing it just like they practiced their combine drills. So really right now for these quarterbacks, when they get into this situation it’s just a repetitive thing that they’re just going through, not going through the motions. But it’s just so easy and on time for them to do this. You know,

With him I always like to look at going back to Auburn again and with quarterbacks, it wasn’t really the physical stuff. It was how they reacted and how they led their teammates and the first big lesson I learned from this was with Cam Newton. You guys remember there’s a lot of

Questions about Cam Newton and whether he was a leader and whether people like cam. Well, we went to the pro day there at Auburn, which lasted about eight hours because it was kind of showing it. And cam, when you saw everybody gravitate around cam, his teammates, the support staff and everybody, you’re like

, yeah, this guy actually they love this guy. And he is the guy that’s in charge. And those are the things I love to look for in pro days. More so than this physical stuff, because that’s so drilled into them. It’s the, the, the intangibles that you

Can’t really put a hold on, even though you got people telling you, Bo Nix is a great guy when you actually see it and feel it. It’s a big difference there. And I learned that mostly from cam. Well, and I’d say, you know, Mark, that that team’s also got

A feel for what kind of competitor and what kind of leader. Bo Nix was down in mobile in a setting, you know, that’s as close to, you know, a practice type team like setting as you’ll get in a run up to the draft down at the Senior Bowl.

And, you know, as a as a go ahead and the Bo Nix is credit. Look Caleb Williams can he’s a top guy. He’s going to pick and choose what he wants to do Jayden Daniels to that extent can pick and choose Drake Maye. Those guys can pick and choose

What they want to do. Whereas Bo Nix and Penix, uh, J.J. McCarthy , different situations where they’ve got to elevate themselves. Those guys were they want to be number four. Yes They don’t have to really. These guys are trying to get up, get up, get up. So they’re competing

Because they know they can separate themselves from that next tier or even get to that first tier. So you got to give it to them that they’re that they’re doing that, uh, at every step of the way. Boy I don’t mind. DJ by the way, in all of

Our pro days that we’ve done together, dozens, it feels like multiple dozens and we’ll have another one coming up. The first one that we’ll have full coverage of coming up on March 20th with Caleb Williams at USC. I think people will be pretty interested in that one, as it’s

The first time we’ll have seen him throw since his final attempt at USC. But, um, you know, when it comes to Bo Nix and, you know, I don’t mind jumping into these workouts when they start throwing the deep shots like, we’re usually we get the hitches, we get the slants,

We get we started. We started early, but I don’t mind seeing it, you know, drop a couple of deep shots in here straight away because that is one of the things right, that we do talk about with Bo a lot of that offense and a lot of what he was

Asked to do was a little bit shorter, right, than some of the some of the guys who are pushing the ball down the field, like Mike Penix. Yeah. The funny thing is, when you talk to some coaches around the league, they’re like, hey, have you seen how we have to play offense in

This league right now? Go look at Patrick Mahomes and look at the number of underneath throws he makes. I think he makes more than anybody else in the league in terms of at five yards or within five yards. Because you’re seeing so much of the shell coverage. Um, they’re

Trying to take away those explosive. So you know, being efficient and accurate underneath is not the worst thing in the world. And then being able to pay it off occasionally, uh, with some of these deeper balls over the top and down the field. But I don’t think that’s viewed as as maybe

Quite the negative in the, in the scouting world, in the personnel world, as it’s deemed in the media. Mark Yeah, I agree with you there, D.J. I like I liken it more so I try to compare football stuff to basketball stuff because everybody thinks they can play basketball. So it’s a little bit

You just pick it up and play where you got to hit your layups and free throws. If you’re a quarterback, you know, hit all the easy stuff. Sure there and then show you can hit three pointers with somebody in your face, or you can beat somebody off the dribble to make a play.

And to me, that’s what NFL quarterbacking is now. Yep. You got to hit your layups. Free throws you know hit all of those. All right. Now when things get messy then what can I do. And for Bo Nix in that Oregon offense you know it was

That a lot of layups a lot a lot of free throws. But he showed the ability to sort of keep some people off the dribble and hit some threes with a hand in his face. Another off platform on the money right there from Bo Nix. Kind of simulated rush

Right. Just trying to get that ball out and
