It seemed like Bo Nix and Auburn football were a match made in heaven.
Auburn was in desperate need of a playmaking quarterback and Bo Nix fit the bill. Not only was he a five-star recruit but he is the son of former Auburn quarterback Patrick Nix. Even better, his skill set appeared to fit perfectly with what Gus Malzahn wanted in a quarterback.
However, the pairing never worked like expected. Malzahn was fired after Nix’s sophomore season and after a disappointing season under Bryan Harsin, Nix is now an Oregon Duck.
This move came up at the NFL Combine and former Georgia wide receiver George Pickens shared his thoughts on Nix’s fit at Oregon.
“Bo Nix is actually a great quarterback to be honest. He could be here right now. The people at Oregon, I think they should pull out the best in him. He’s already got a good motor, he has a good mindset. The way he carries himself real privately, and I feel like Oregon that should have been the first choice for him.”
The last sentence…
