Shawn Siegele explains why the loaded 2024 quarterback class could feature a consolation prize that pays off in a huge way and at a fraction of the price.
Everybody knows that Bo Nix is entering the NFL as an elderly prospect who just spent his final season throwing underneath relentlessly. He looks like the type of pure system QB who usually fails at the professional level, and at the very most he’s a low-upside starter with some grim game-manager traits for a team with low aspirations.
We all know this, and yet today we’ll embark on a Bo Nix Reclamation Tour, an ambitious journey to uncover the contradictory evidence. If it exists.
Dave Caban’s QB research using Principle Component Analysis ranked Nix as the No. 4 prospect in this class (and with a large tier break to Michael Penix and J.J. McCarthy).
I’m going to make the case that No. 4 might be his floor. With the risk inherent in the profiles of Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye, don’t be surprised if he ends up as the long-term No. 2.
