When you're a seventh-round draft pick trying to carve out a role on an NFL roster, you're willing to do whatever it takes -- even if that means flying across the country at a moment's notice.
That's the situation Tre Nixon found himself in this offseason. The second-year New England Patriots wide receiver was training in his native Florida when he got a call from quarterback Mac Jones, who was organizing throwing sessions in Del Mar, California.
Nixon didn't hesitate, hopping on a cross-country flight to join Jones and fellow Patriots wideout Nelson Agholor in Del Mar for a few days of workouts in late June.
