NFL Coach Says Bo Nix is 'Opposite' of Drake Maye: 'Very High Floor,' Lower Ceiling

In advance of next Thursday's NFL draft, one AFC assistant coach views Oregon quarterback Bo Nix as the "opposite" of UNC signal-caller Drake Maye, who's seen as a risky quarterback NFL draft prospect with a high ceiling. On the contrary, this coach sees Nix as a safe prospect with a "very high floor."

"He's the opposite of Drake: He's very high floor and a little bit of a lower ceiling. He's talented. I think he throws the ball really well. He's a good athlete. He's older (turned 24 in February). It's almost like he's been constructed in a lab.
