Nix, 24, was a three-year starter at Auburn before transferring to Oregon and starting his final two years. He holds the NCAA record for most career starts at 61 and was named first-team All-PAC 12 in 2023. The Broncos used the No. 12 pick in the 2024 draft on Nix.
The No. 12 overall pick is projected to sign a four-year, $18,229,833 contract that includes a $10,078,060 signing bonus and will carry a $3,314,515 cap figure for the 2024 season. The contract includes a fifth-year option for the team to pick up in 2028.
NFL Media’s Lance Zierlein compares him to former Cowboys QB Tony Romo.
