2024 NFL Draft: Why combine performances of Bo Nix, Keon Coleman and others should not impact draft stock

It is commonplace to list winners and losers throughout the NFL Scouting Combine, but the reality is that not all workouts dramatically impact a prospect’s overall draft outlook. Here are a handful of prospects whose week in Indianapolis should not lead to significant change in where they are selected:

QB Bo Nix, Oregon

Nix was labeled a “loser” in my post-quarterback analysis story, but that requires more context. Washington’s Michael Penix Jr. and Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy were easily the stars of attraction in each of the two groups. None of the quarterbacks did exceedingly well and none floundered. On the initial in-breaking routes, Nix could’ve gotten back in his drop quicker, planted his foot and drove the ball with a little more vigor. As the workout progressed, he did a much better job of playing on time and throwing with accuracy. It likely did not impact his overall draft projection much, for better or worse. 

Audric Estime, RB, Notre Dame
