Former Oregon quarterback Bo Nix is gearing up for his transition into the NFL. With the 2024 NFL Draft just around the corner, Nix and his wife Izzy used the opportunity to travel to LA and witness NBA star LeBron James in action.
Izzy shared a post on Instagram of them attending the recent LA Lakers game against the Philadelphia 76ers. In the photos, the couple were seen posing with James, looking awestruck by the Lakers star.
"An unforgettable night!!!," Izzy wrote in the caption.
With 12 games left in the regular season, LeBron James' Lakers will have a lot of work to do to secure a playoff spot. Their 101-94 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers marked another step towards making it to the postseason. They are currently ninth in the Western Conference with a 38-32 record. James put up 20 points, eight rebounds and five assists to help the Lakers to victory.
Bo Nix's Pro Day performance
Bo Nix decided not to participate in any physical tests during the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. He only took part in a few on-field workouts, which included a range of passing drills. But the QB did put up an impressive performance during Oregon's Pro Day recently.
Nix showcased his incredible arm strength and accuracy by lofting several deep throws to his teammates. He also showcased his mobility and agility while accurately making off-balance passes on the field. Experts believe that Bo Nix could use some time on the sidelines to develop his skills in the NFL, before assuming the starting role.
The 24-year-old was a key part of Dan Lanning's offense during his two-year stint with the Ducks, recording 8101 passing yards and 74 TD passes. Last season, he helped Oregon to a 12-2 record and put up 4,508 passing yards and 45 TDs.
Nix is projected to be a second-round pick in this year's NFL draft.
