Popular Post chamrocck Posted August 30, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2017 On my morning drive I sometimes listen to ESPN 710 Los Angeles and Key Sr. is on a morning show. I happened to be listening today when they started a segment about how Al Michaels said he believes QB's coming out of college today are more NFL ready than ever before. Keyshawn and other hosts disagreed and Keyshawn goes on to talk about how high school recruits need to find the right system for their skillset that translates best to the NFL. He mentions this is what he went through with his son and naysayers were questioning why Nebraska and he said because his son is trying to get to play on Sundays and "Keith Williams is the best receiver coach in college football, period." He then gives Riley some praise and mentions that his QB system will translate well into the pro game so this is where QB's will want to play. The Al Michaels things starts around 20:20 Key Sr. on playing in the right system and Nebraska comments are at around 23:07 http://www.espn.com/espnradio/losangeles/play?id=20496598 15 Quote Link to comment

Elaida Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I like Keyshawn, even if he is a Trojan. Quote Link to comment

Jokes aside, he's been a really great brand ambassador for Nebraska ever since his son's recruitment, and he makes a really good point about going to a place that fits your skill set. Some players, particularly many of the highly ranked high school players, have goals of reaching the NFL. If winning a national title was their main goal then they'd only ever go to the top ranked programs and Key Jr. probably wouldn't have come to Nebraska. The bond between player/coach, and what that coach can do for the player, is probably the single greatest variable in recruitment. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I just hope Jr. figures out the work ethic needed to come back and be a major contributor. 2 Quote Link to comment

Win a NC and get ready for the NFL? 1 Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I would wager a lot of players (especially some highly ranked ones) think competing for and winning a national title is gravy, but the meat/potatoes is getting to the NFL. It sounds like that's what Key Sr. is saying about this son. The "who cares" if they win 9 games if (in Key Sr.'s opinion) Nebraska has the best WR coach in the country and can help his son reach his goal of getting to the NFL. Case in point: was Nebraska a destination spot for highly ranked WRs during the mid-90s? More than likely, if you wanted to get to the NFL and you wanted to go to a place that really showcased your pass catching abilities, you weren't choosing Nebraska. Quote Link to comment
