But it looks like his first pre-season game cleared his way to become the starting QB of his team. While Wilson hit 10 out of 13 throws for an impressive 117 yards, Nix shone bright with the team-best of 125 yards and a touchdown, “Four scoring drives for two TDs and two field goals.” per Adam Schefter’s X post. But that’s not all.

The former Oregon star QB connected with Courtland Sutton for a deep 22-yard pass, which gave significant momentum to his team. Although he fumbled a bit, his extraordinary mobility led him to dog for 6 yards on what could have landed as a sack. In addition, he covered 17 additional yards on the ground, which eclipsed the performance of both Zach and Stidham. Well, it seems like their coach, Sean Payton, was already confident of Bo’s mobility as he said, “Those guys have good movement skills.
