ColoradoHusk Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 It was great to see Brown turn it around. He really looked good at the end of the season. +1 Brown was booming his FG's in conference play and was kicking with a lot of confidence. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Collins isn't going pro with that rating either. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Collins isn't going pro with that rating either.What rating? The guy is going pro. He's listed with a first round grade by most draft experts. Even if he does slide into round 2, he's smart if he goes to the NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I think Westerkamp makes 2nd team. Maybe Lewis That is about it. Quote Link to comment
huskerfan92 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Collins isn't going pro with that rating either. Like Husk said Collins is still a 1st-2nd round projected pick. Plus with his character, and the way he interviews his stock will only increase during the draft process. Quote Link to comment

All the media members that cover NU have nothing but great things to say about Collins. Word is that he does a lot of work with the younger players after practice and he is the true leader of this year's defense. Quote Link to comment
cm husker Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I think Westerkamp makes 2nd team. Maybe Lewis That is about it. I'm going to laugh my tail off when Armstrong makes the list. Though the 4 pick game this weekend may have knocked him off. The b10 QB play is weak this year; Armstrong has the talent to be at least 2nd team. If voters think of this in terms of who they would pick in a draft scenario, he will get honored even though he wasn't utilized this year. Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Collins isn't going pro with that rating either. Like Husk said Collins is still a 1st-2nd round projected pick. Plus with his character, and the way he interviews his stock will only increase during the draft process. Collins is the best player on the team and was about right as second team, maybe. He should NOT be going pro at this point. He is not all american and not even first team. If he were consensus first team all big ten and an all american nationally, he might make second round pick. He likely goes late third or 4th round in my view. His tackle and sack numbers are not that great and he just didn't make the big splash it takes. Look at Suh. His junior year was much like Collins this year. Next year he comes back and must explode into a truly dominate player that is unblockable and makes about 8 tackles again and a couple 'body slaw' sacks for the highlight reels. That would get him a 5 million dollars signing bonus. Westy is our best offensive player. Sad to see he didn't even get a mention. But with this many teams, you only have a couple three open spots and no doubt Michigan, Ohio State, Mich St, Penn St, Wiscy, and all the others have some good players as well. Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I think it telling that Tommy A didn't make hon mention. If he had not had the 4 ints and we had won the Iowa game, he might have made it. Maybe not but? Quote Link to comment

He's one of those guys who could play anywhere along the line. He's a beast. Completely underutilized too. wasn't there one game where he was playing outside and then inside and then in a 2 point? Statistically, that was his best game iirc. Would be nice if we had a staff who could highlight their playmakers on D. I'm sure his shuttle time will be amazing. Scouts are going to drool over his quickness and his hands. His wrestling background helped him so much in that regard. Quote Link to comment

ColoradoHusk Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 84HuskerLaw, I don't have the rookie salary scale in front of me, but the days of huge rookie pay days are over. It's better for guys to come out early, establish themselves and get paid fat bank in that 2nd contract. Collins and Suh's situations aren't comparable because Suh was able to get a huge rookie deal by going #2. Quote Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Interesting how two of our five honorees had many people wanting them basically off the team at points this year. Or how 2 of the 5 honorees are coached by the guy most think is deadweight on this staff. (Not saying I don't agree but just figured it needed pointed out.) Waits for the they did it inspite of their coaching narrative that will follow. Quote Link to comment
