I didn't know about his poor work habits. Knowing that, I'm even happier to get him as an UDFA because now I think his ceiling may be even higher than I had thought before. If he dedicates himself to working hard, he should succeed in the NFL and eventually become a quality starter at OT - maybe even sooner than later.

Let's hope that going undrafted was a wakeup call and a motivator for Nixon. He could solve our RT problem if he wants to put in the work to do so.

Apparantly, this guy couldn't even bench 20 times...perhaps that is why people are questioning his work habits, at least in the weight room...being weak on top as a T will get you crushed at the NFL level.
But if he can get serious, maybe he has a shot at making the squad...at best he is probably a practice squad guy...but his experience in the SEC is excellent...certainly happy they got a guy like this...but I don't buy that this was a 5th round guy, but wouldn't have been upset either if they drafted him there.
