AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
 Power And Strength
Nix could project on either side of the line of scrimmage. He is very explosive and quick off the snap. He has quick hands and beats most offensive linemen with his combination of burst and hand speed. He is a blue-collar type of a player who always gives a solid effort. He is tough and very physical at the point of attack and is solid in pursuit. He needs to fill out his body and add more muscle mass to a great frame.
