If Nixon is not claimed he has a chance to be on the Patriot’s practice squad.
In 2020, Nixon caught 19 passes for 260 yards and two touchdowns. However, when Nixon was healthy in 2019, he caught 49 passes for 830 yards and seven touchdowns.

At 6-feet-2-inches tall and weighing in at 180-pounds, he also has size to go along with his speed.
