Is it too late for Nelson to withdraw from the NFL draft if he wants to ?
He hasn't signed with an agent yet that I can find, so he could theoretically come back.

He made the Senior Bowl & is gonna get his chance in front of the scouts at Nebraska's pro day, so I don't think this is a huge obstacle in and of itself.

Interesting but if he came back would he still be a starter? 🤔

I'm a bigger fan of Nelson than most - he was second team all conference, and IIRC, our most productive DL since Gregory (admittedly not a super high bar).

I don't think the previous staff did him a lot of favors with the way they used him, and I tend to think if he was turned loose in an attacking scheme with tighter coverage in the secondary, he'd be a double digits sack guy.

If he stays in the draft, he may not get his name called until a late round or free agency, but I believe he makes a regular season roster.

I'm not saying he's a bad player. I'm just curious where he would fit in the new defense. It's too bad that they played him as a freshman he could have a used a redshirt year to get himself better prepared for playing in college. It seemed like the first couple of years he was just running around with his hair on fire. Like others have said it would probably have been beneficial for him to have stayed and worked on his development with the new coaches if his aspirations were to go to the NFL.
