ESPN: NFL Teams Complain Bo Nix Freezes in Big Spots; Coaches Feel QB Is 'Rehearsed'

The long lead-up to the NFL draft means prospects face plenty of nitpicking before their names are eventually called, and Oregon quarterback Bo Nix is no exception.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler noted Tuesday that "multiple coaches who interviewed Nix said his interviews felt scripted and rehearsed but he shines when he lets loose and shows personality."

One NFC executive said, "Coaches love him. Knows football, coach's son, can talk it and walk it. He can talk it up on the board, but when the lights come on and the picture changes, it's a little bit of a concern.
