Says he dropped due to off field issues???

I don’t understand why the nfl doesn’t have programs to help players with off field issues. I mean you invest millions of dollars in a player and you are in a company that makes  billions each year. Make a babysitting program. Make these players with off field issues get counseling, mental health help and make it to where they have someone watch them and make them live in a controlled environment. It’s not like you couldn’t make them sign a contract where they would have to agree to it.

i may be misremembering, but watching Nixon's highlight vids reminds me of watching kk short's videos coming into his draft. just that disruptive speed getting into the backfield.

[Agent Blue]

not explosive out of his stance but he seems to use his hands very good

This man ran a 4.8 at over 300 lbs. Sheesh

That's like the New V8 Jeep Wrangler doing 0-60 in 4.5 seconds! lol

I'm calling it right now after watching film on this guy... Nixon will become a starter and a star for this team!! This guy has that different kind of motor, plays violently, hugely competitive and is just super athletic. His intangibles are through the roof! Cannot believe he was still available, this is the Panthers biggest steal IMO!

The NFL has programs, and symposiums especially designed for rookies. As well, most teams have someone in charge of player development. There is help out there for those that use it.

 

Colleges however, are dreadfully lacking in this area.

Can this guy make a contribution for us?...make the team in full rotation?

[Catsfan69]

I approve this pick
