MOBILE, Ala. — Bo Nix is back home this week.
The road to get to the Senior Bowl, though, traversed thousands of miles.
Nix, considered by many evaluators the top quarterback at this collegiate all-star game and a potential first-round pick in April’s draft, was born in Arkansas but attended high school in Pinson, Ala., just north of Birmingham and about a four-hour drive from here.
He played his first four years of college in the state, too, three hours northeast at Auburn.
In search of a revival, though, Nix went all the way to Oregon, then saw his football future take off.
