Bo Nix and Roger McCreary were Auburn Tigers teammates from 2019-2021, before the former took to the Transfer Portal and transformed himself into a first-round NFL draft pick in his two years with the Oregon Ducks. McCreary was a 3-star out of Mobile, while Nix was a Birmingham-area 5-star, and his last year on the Plains was also the 2021 season. He was taken with the No. 35 pick in the 2022 draft.
On Sunday, during the Denver Broncos' Week 1 matchup with the Tennessee Titans, McCreary intercepted a Nix pass that was intended for Courtland Sutton.
