Guys who played the game have little doubt about Bo Nix's readiness for the NFL.
at No. 12 overall because of the obvious fit with Sean Payton. It turned out that Payton and the Broncos saw it that way, too, pulling the trigger on the Heisman Trophy finalist.
Phil wasn't the only former NFL quarterback impressed by Nix's size. Payton has talked multiple times since the draft of his pleasant surprise at Nix's frame, especially his legs and, for lack of a better term, how 'thick' he is at 6-foot-2 and 214 pounds. To be fair, when a team drafts a quarterback in the first round, it's with the hope that he'll be the guy for the next 15 years, so age does factor into the relative value of a prospect. But combined with other traits, strengths, and weaknesses, age shouldn't be the be-all end-all.
For his part, Chris sees Nix wasting little time acclimating to the NFL and getting up to speed. But he did voice one concern he has for the rookie as he assimilates Payton's scheme.
