Payton informed Nix he would not have drafted him had he identified of his historical past with ankle points.
“He is such a powerful, faith-based man, sitting within the hallway along with his household,” Payton stated of Nix. “And I went over, and we’re all speaking to him, and you recognize he is aware of, you recognize, that God’s received a plan for him.
“And but he stated he had one in highschool. After which he stated he had one at Auburn, and I stated, ‘I did not notice that I stated if I do not know that I would not have drafted you.'”
