Former Juco cornerback with just one year of starting experience who has the frame, speed and competitiveness to warrant a deeper dive as a developmental cornerback. Nixon plays with strength to crowd receivers and annoy the catch point, but he loses leverage and coverage positioning too easily due to a lack of discipline and pattern recognition. He's a feisty tackler with great makeup burst who figures to improve with more seasoning, but his lack of length and leaping could limit any potential upside.
Compact cornerback with average length and excessive lower body tightness who lacks fluidity and discipline to handle man coverage as an NFL cornerback. He shows some route recognition when his eyes are forward and he is not lacking in aggressiveness at the catch-point. He has some zone potential, but his inconsistencies as tackler and inability to recover will be a challenge from him to overcome.
