In a loaded quarterback class, some truly accomplished names seem to be getting lost in the shuffle.
USC’s Caleb Williams, North Carolina’s Drake Maye, and LSU’s Heisman winner Jayden Daniels could certainly be the top 3 picks in the upcoming draft, but with so many teams vying for a new quarterback, many other big names will be on the board after those three are gone.
Former Carolina Panthers star running back Jonathan Stewart has voiced his support for fellow Oregon Duck Bo Nix with a bold statement on X, claiming whichever team drafts the Heisman Trophy finalist will “win the draft.”
Who ever drafts Bo Nix will win the draft this year when it’s all said and done.

Nix threw for 45 touchdowns and just 3 interceptions last season at Oregon and is now a part of a deep QB draft class that makes it tough to predict his potential landing spots.
At 24 years old and having started more games than any quarterback in NCAA history at 61, Nix should be one of the most pro-ready QBs in this class.
Surely Stewart could be a little biased given their mutual ties to Oregon, but he has a point.
An established team in rounds 2 or 3 looking for a quarterback could benefit greatly from taking a shot on Nix, such as the Steelers, Falcons, Vikings, Raiders, or Seahawks.
Nix’s biggest question marks are his arm strength and his mobility, which makes his landing spot all the more important.
The Vikings seem like a particularly intriguing option given Kirk Cousins’ free agency, as Cousins shares a lot of the same traits Nix does.
It’s great to see Stewart sticking up for his guy, and anyone who has any clue where Nix is headed at this point is lying.
