A 3-4 two-gap defense focused on controlling the line of scrimmage, allowing linebackers to flow freely and make plays.
Immediate starter at nose tackle in a 3-4 scheme, with the ceiling to be a dominant run-stuffer and occasional pass-rush disruptor.
A one-gap 4-3 attacking front where he'd be asked to consistently penetrate and disengage quickly.
Nix's size and strength perfectly suit a two-gap system, where his primary responsibility would be eating up blocks and stopping the run.
Selected #83 overall in Round 3 of the 2014 NFL Draft by Houston Texans out of Notre Dame.
