Bo Nix Heisman Trophy?

[bigsugarduck]

If I'm not mistaken, Bo leads the country for total TDs. That should definitely get you in the conversation at this point in the year...if he keeps up this pace he will likely be tops in the country by a good margin by ceremony time.

If we win out, he will get an invite


How could he win?
- If GA destroys Tennessee and Hooker plays poorly
- Michigan's Corum has a poor game against Ohio St
- Bama loses to GA in SEC title game
- UNC doesn't upset Clemson for ACC title game
- CJ Stroud doesn't play great against Michigan

I wonder if sniffing the trophy up close would make Nix reconsider coming back one more year?

No way. If anything, it makes his stock higher than ever for any shot at a nfl career.

Agree to disagree. Nix has a shaky rep and this year is helping with that. However, one more year, and a second heisman run would make a huge difference to an NFL team. Establish he is not a one hit wonder.

Nix is already married and on the surface, making zero dollars. I have a feeling his wife would be strongly pushing him to pursue the NFL route.

he has NIL deals. Money is not his prime motivator

He would benefit his Pro chances of being more than a backup by returning. He would also likely earn more in NIL than he would in Year 1 of his contract and if he went Day 3, he'd likely make more from the NIL than the life of that contract.

NIL may actually help some of the smaller schools keep a prospect for an extra year as the Rookie pay scale is pretty locked in.

It's about what he wants ultimately. I'd like to think that he's having enough fun that he wants to come back to a good situation AND get paid.

If Bo projects as a practice squad guy, he should stay (NIL > $200k/yr). If he's going to make an active roster, then go. The risk of coming back is that next year's OL probably won't lead the country by allowing 1 sack through 8 games, and so he may put up worse numbers and worse film.

Great day yesterday to improve his chances.
Stroud had a tough day against a bad Northwestern team.
Hooker didn't perform against Georgia, which was the same thing detractors said against Nix.
Young had a rough game and another loss.

He isn’t going to be a practice squad guy. Right now he is sitting as the 6 best qb prospect on draft boards. Kiper had him ahead of Hall now fwiw. Depending on his combine, he will be a 3rd round pick.

The 1st pick of the 3rd round gets 4 years for 5.5M and will get paid 1.8M this year.

What's another year of Bo Nix worth to Division Street?

[UofDuck]

To my original point, there is a gamble that staying gets him injured, or has him take a step backwards. The upside is showing the NFL that he has a two year body of work without “Bad Bo” mistakes. Unfortunately, he has earned a label of inconsistency. That is a death nail for an NFL QB that I don’t think one good season will erase. Having two stellar seasons would dim the Bad Bo rap by a lot. It’s already starting in the media, but it still exist for now.
