The Senior Bowl will be played on February 3, a game in which the New York Giants will have a pair of assistant coaches, quarterbacks coach Shea Tierney and assistant special teams coach Mike Adams, working up close and personal with their respective units.
Nix found his game at Oregon after flaming out at Auburn improving everything he struggled with at Auburn for the Ducks, such as his accuracy and decision-making. Transferring also allowed him to show the physical gifts that made him a five-star prospect coming out of high school.
Nix can win from the pocket and be used as a rushing weapon, not to mention he has a frame built to absorb a little punishment.
In this breakdown, we look at some of the players Giants fans might want to focus on throughout the week of practices leading up to the game.
The Big Arms in the Big 12 Rivalry
Fresh off a second stellar campaign for their schools, Oregon’s Bo Nix and Washington’s Michael Penix Jr.
will be in Mobile showcasing their skills for teams.
As the Giants are in the market for a quarterback who can either come in and start or sit behind Daniel Jones for a couple of seasons, these two names are guys that most believe will be in the target area for the Giants either as first-round picks or early Day 2 selections.
Penix realized his potential at Washington thanks in part to his health.He dealt with a lot of injuries while at Indiana.
He started more games in his two seasons at Washington than over four seasons with the Hoosiers.
Having been healthy this past season, Penix showed off his arm talent. His ability to drive the ball downfield should be attractive to the Giants. He also showed his poise under pressure and his accuracy while at Washington.
