ColoradoHusk Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Very nice!!! JD had a great season in 2017. I know that not all spread offenses are the same, but I think that Frost would probably look at how Urban Meyer used Percy Harvin at Florida. Spielman's talents are way more than just being a slot receiver. 1 Quote Link to comment
ladyhawke Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Congratulations JD! Can you imagine how great this kid will grow to be under our new coach! This kid is a winner for sure! Quote Link to comment
PasstheDamnBallGuy Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Quote Spielman was perhaps the lone bright spot during Nebraska’s otherwise dismal season, setting up the freshman as a future star in the Big Ten. I mean I kinda get why they would say that, but we had several players that I thought showed a hell of a lot of potential this year. Stille and Deontre Thomas at the very least looked like studs already and were both freshman. Quote Link to comment

TonyStalloni Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 JD sacrificed his body on many of those catches. Some of his receptions were right in the teeth of the defense. He earned this recognition on hard work and guts. Quote Link to comment
Warrior Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 He's going to be fun to watch in the new system! 1 Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I think Frost is going to be jacked over the potential of this kid in years to come. 1 Quote Link to comment

I love the toughness of SM but the only reason he did not have over 1500 yards, is he dropped a TON of balls that were in his hands. Many of these would have been long catches and several TD's. If he works on focus, he has all the tools he needs. Quote Link to comment

He did have quite a few drops but Most of them were on shorter throws. It seemed to be the easy catches that he had trouble with - the 5-10 yard hitch routes where he was standing still. Would have been first downs but I don't think there were hundreds of yards left out there on those plays. Not like he was always running free 50 yards down the field and dropped it. 1 Quote Link to comment

More than a few long balls dropped, like 50 yard plus. Possible 1500 a stretch but he left several hundreds of yards on the turf and more importantly multiple scores. Quote Link to comment
