Cecil digs into the mechanics, the mindset, and the developmental path that could make the comparison more than just praise — but a legitimate roadmap for Nix’s rise. Meanwhile, Day 2 of the acclimation period delivered a highlight: Jaylen Waddle went full superstar mode with a one‑handed red‑zone snag that lit up practice.
