ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. said during Tuesday's NFL Live that he "saw a little Drew Brees" in Bo Nix while evaluating the Oregon quarterback.
"Hand size even, exactly the same," he said of the two quarterbacks. "Nix 6'2", Drew Brees 6'0.5". Both around 215 [pounds]. Accurate passers. Don't have the big arm—Brees didn't have the big arm, that's why he was the first pick in the second round, right? Nix doesn't have the big arm. Cerebral. Can beat a defense with their legs. Nix can, Brees had legs coming out, had had over 600 yards rushing in that last year at Purdue.
