Oregon Ducks news: Bo Nix at NFL Combine, WBB on 12-game losing streak, more

As day two of the 2024 NFL Combine unfolded, quarterback Bo Nix spoke to the media and shared his thoughts on visits with teams.

Nix confirmed that he has met with the Las Vegas Raiders and the Denver Broncos.

“I think they want to not only see your ability to command a room but how you may lead,” Nix said. “They want to use that time to see what you’re made of.”

The Duck legend shared that he has gotten to know himself better throughout the process and thoroughly enjoyed the visits with coaches.

“Make sure that they know your passion for the sport you’re playing,” Nix said. “I think that’s the most important thing.”

One thing that everyone knows about Nix is that he loves football. He continuously talked about how Oregon helped him fall back in love with the game after a rough few years at Auburn.

With five years of college ball under his belt, Nix is one of the most experienced quarterbacks entered into the draft this year.

“Sometimes the uncommon thing is the intangibles that we may possess,” Nix said. “Processing, preparation, passion for the game, and love for the game, the intensity that you bring: I bring those at a really high level.”

Coaches and scouts will be able to see his skills in real time on Saturday as quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers take the field.

Only four teams from Power-5 conferences have a worse record than Oregon. 

In the season’s final game, the Ducks will face the No. 4 Stanford Cardinal. Oregon lost to Stanford 88-63 in the teams’ first matchup this year.
