Oregon's Bo Nix is a small fish in a large pond of quarterback prospects in the 2024 NFL draft class, but he opened some eyes during his Pro Day workout with the school on Tuesday.
Nix displayed some impressive arm strength and mobility. He was accurate on his deep passes and he made multiple off-balance throws that were on target to his Ducks teammates, showing off his skills to NFL contingents from the Las Vegas Raiders, New York Jets, New England Patriots, Chicago Bears, Seattle Seahawks and others.
Nix's Pro Day performance was enough to get fans on social media talking, and many had positive things to say:

Arm strength has never been a question for Nix, as B/R NFL scout Derrik Klassen noted that the 24-year-old's "greatest asset is arguably his athleticism." His ability to make off-schedule throws also earned praise.
"As a thrower, Nix has the goods physically. He has a loose arm and can bomb it down the field with relative ease. Additionally, Nix's velocity is well above the NFL threshold," Klassen stated. "He can drive the ball outside the numbers and into tight windows over the middle reliably. That even applies to Nix's ability to throw on the run, where he really shines."
Nix is more of a developmental prospect who could use some time on the sidelines learning behind a veteran, but he clearly has the tools to be a successful NFL quarterback when he puts it all together.
