1980 Profile: Jeff Nixon

Free Safety
No. 38
Richmond
"Wolfgang Amadeus Nixon? Not really. His mother actually is a descendant of Johan Sebastian Bach. Jeff was born in Germany, is an accomplished guitarist and has written some music. He's the Bills' Renaissance Man, except that he can also play football.
Nixon was a fourth-round draft pick of the Bills. He led the team with six interceptions last year as a rookie, beating out veteran Tony Greene over the last four games.
Born in Fursten Feldbruck, Germany, he set Richmond University interception and punt return records. He had 25 tackles in a game against North Carolina. He now lives in Glendale, Arizona- Jeff sure gets around."

-Dave Newhouse, The Complete Handbook of Pro Football, 1980 Edition
