With their final pick in the 2021 NFL Draft (Round 7, Pick 242), the Patriots selected UCF WR Tre Nixon.
Nixon (6-feet, 180) had two productive seasons at UCF before sitting out the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In his last full season, he caught 49 passes for 830 yards and seven TDs for the Golden Knights.
As Phil Perry detailed, Nixon has a great time in the 3-cone drill and solid athleticism. That should give him a chance to find some success at the next level.
A receiver with... you guessed it... a nice little three-cone time (6.81 seconds). Checks in at 6-feet, 187 pounds.
