2024 Pro Day

They don't, but someone has to throw the ball for the WRs. A lot of times it's alumni or the current QB, we just don't really have any of those. Martinez coming back would be a bit odd, Thompson is somewhere else, and the guys working out in front of scouts would have been wise to politely decline Haarberg  throwing to them.

Zac Taylor is off right now.  Frost is probably still on the payroll.

Jurgens is going to end up being a far better pro player than he ever was in college. He was learning on the fly how to be a center his whole college career and while he did get the hang of it towards the end its clear his time with Jason Kelce has brought his game to a completely different level. He will be a really good one for years to come.

He was learning and struggled the first year and a half.  The rest of the time, he was clearly our best offensive lineman and had very few snap issues.  People seem to remember his Freshman year more clearly than his senior year.

Can't remember which game it was, but I do remember being very impressed by Cam snapping the ball and then essentially playing tackle on passing plays.

He was so good we used him to pull in order to help our Tackles from getting destroyed, since they had an issue of getting their QB injured.

 
Was reading through Dane Brugler's awesome 'The Beast' draft preview he does every year and it's looking pretty slim for Nebraska players to get drafted. Here's what I saw:

The top listed guy for NU was Marco Ortiz as the #2 Long Snapper--UDFA grade

Omar Brown #34 S--UDFA grade

SUMMARY: Omar Brown grew up in the Minneapolis area. He lettered in basketball and football at Minneapolis North High, helping the latterteamto the state title as a senior. A three-star recruit, he received just a few FCS scholarship offers and signed with Northern Iowa. He set the bar high with six interceptions as a true freshman corner, then entered the transfer portal after the 2021 season. He became Nebraska’s starting nickel in Tony White’s 3-3-5 scheme in 2023. Brown is a savvy cover man who plays on the balls of his feet and has the reactive athleticism to drive on throws. He tracks the ball well in the deep third of the field, but h e might not have ideal split-field range. He fills with a head of steam and looks to wrap-finish versus the run, but he needs to stay square at contact. Overall, Brown is smoother than he is explosive, but he has the eyes of a cornerback to quickly read and crowd receivers without drawing attent ion from officials.

Phalen Sanford in Best of The Rest--#68

Quentin Newsome in Best of The Rest CBs--#79

Luke Reimer in Best of The Rest LBs--#62

Billy Kemp in Best of The Rest WRs--#197

Marcus Washington #184 WRs

Not surprising.  I believe the vast majority of our best players are still on the team.

There were a few others buried in there - I'm pretty sure the numbers he lists are from the pro day as well, and it's clear why they aren't getting drafted:

Anthony Grant (#53 RB) - 4.71 40 with a 26" vert and an 8'11" broad - not exactly explosive. 

Josh Fleeks (#63 RB) - 4.63 40 at 205 lbs

Billy Kemp - 4.78 40 at 180 lbs

Nouredin Nouili (#45 G) 

Casey Rogers (#30 DT, transferred to Oregon) got a priority free agent grade

Isaiah Stalbird (#40 LB, transferred to SDSU) tested well - 4.49 40 - but is small

Luke Reimer (#62 LB) - 4.7 40, only ~220 lbs, short arms and lots of injuries

Quinton Newsome - 4.57 is pretty slow, at least for 6' 185

Good calls on Grant, Fleeks and Nouili as I missed those guys.
