2023 season ‘deciding factor’ for former Auburn QB being NFL first-rounder

Former Auburn football quarterback Bo Nix may or may not be a first-round NFL draft talent, with the 2023 NCAAF season determining the Pinson High School product’s fate according to Vikings Wire’s Kevin Fielder. The Oregon QB must prove he could thrive without former Ducks and Tigers offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham, who is now the head coach at Arizona State, according to Fielder.

“Next season will almost act as the deciding factor for Nix” Fielder wrote. “Dillingham is no longer his offensive coordinator, accepting the head coach position at Arizona State, and Nix will have to build upon his strong 2022 with former UTSA play-caller Will Stein at the helm.
