Breaking Nelson to NFL

I will take that over seeing him transfer. Good luck captain

 

[ac husker]

That hurts.

Good for him. Never questioned Nelson’s work ethic or passion.

I’m not sure how his archetype as a player would fit into the alleged 3-3-5 we will run.

l Think he was just mentally spent from what had to be a disappointing career. All those losses while trying to put the team on his back. Totally understand it.

 

[Adolph Coors]

dont blame him but also dont think he’ll last long or actually do anything. hes a tweener for sure & isnt a good enough pass rusher/run stopper to make up for his really poor coverage skills

 

[Napkins]

If he can hustle on special teams and make a roster my hope is that he will continue to develop into a NFL caliber defensive player but as of right now I don’t really see it. I hope it works out for him though.

 

[ChocaEgg]

The quicker we can purge the roster of Frost fans the better off we'll be.

Realistically he is Will Compton 2.0

 

[Goskers07]

Good luck to him. Dude played his heart out and was underappreciated by many.

That said, I'm not sure his prospects are too high. Being 2nd team all big will help, but being a tweener is gonna be tough to overcome, a la Jojo, unless he tests better than expected.

Can he make more money next year in the NFL than he can with NIL? He’s more productive than Mathis who got $650k on the open market

So he’ll play in the NFL for 10 years ?

Compton had some really solid NFL years in his younger days and it’s revisionist history to state otherwise.

This one hurts. No way to spin it.

The whole 335 thing IMO is completely overblown. They’re going to run a system that fits the players. I’ll be more interested in the coverage style and how they run fit. That’s what matters.

That wasn't a shot at him, that's exactly how I think it will go. Undrafted, underdog. Work his ass off any chance he gets. Makes some rosters, sees some time. Play for a decade off an on and just simply be productive. It for sure stings.

No lol

 

[Tell_Sackett]

I did not expect this. I would think these players that could be considered "marginal" NFL prospects would err on the side of chasing one more year of NIL. He will be missed. Good luck to him.

 

[HuskerGarrett]

This one surprises me. I would think he would make more in NIL
