If Senior Bowl updates from @nfldraftscout are true, Stanley Jean Baptiste's stock is skyrocketing. Possibly a 1st-rounder he says. #Huskers

He knocks out the 40 and it will for sure. With big bodied receivers becoming the norm and TE's who can run, D's need to counter with bigger DB's. SJB fits that mold and then some. Would love to see another 1st round pick!

Liked Stanley Jean-Baptiste's film quite a bit. Issue was how athletic/fluid he was. This week he's shown well. Rd 1 pick wouldn't surprise

@nfldraftscout @FABEWASH31 Second best player on Nebraska defense.

Mark Yoho ‏@rockhard4303 3h

@PriscoCBS @nfldraftscout @FABEWASH31 second to Randy Gregory?

@rockhard4303 @nfldraftscout @fabewash31 Of course

LMFAO love it

SJB reminds me of Aquib Talib of the Patriots (except the off field stuff of course) and look how much of a stud Talib has been this year for them. Talib went in the 2nd round to Jon Gruden and the Bucs I believe because of said issues out of KU.

Actually Talib went 1.20.

Pretty damn amazing if you ask me. 2 Husker CB's that were recruited to other positions, Prince at RB and Stanley at WR, and the potential to have them both be 1st rounders.

You know for as average as our on the field product has been the last several years, it's really impressive how many guys we're still preparing and sending to the league.

3 first rounders (possibly) in 5 years - with Lavonte and Dennard missing out but being obvious first round talent as well.

If only Bo and his band of misfit coaches could develop talent.

Yeah. Our players are good in spite of the coaches. Only place in CFB where it happens.

Hey I know some folks are kinda sensitive about pessimistic thoughts these days, but I simply cannot imagine a NFL team using a draft pick on T-Mart for the purposes of being a WR, DB, or kick returner. The guy has never caught a ball, made a tackle, or returned a kick in 4 years of college (I'm sure he did plenty of it on the scout team in 2009 so kudos for that I guess). I hope the kid gets healthy and is successful in whatever he tries to do, and I also hope that he has a strong pro day and gets a shot as a free agent, but the deck is certainly stacked against him.

But to prove I'm not a hater: Good luck with the NFL Taylor!

Neither had Brad Smith (Mizzou QB) or Zach Miller (UNO QB) as far as I know.

Worries me they can develop the individual, but not the team. Sound like an assistant that's been promoted 1 spot to high maybe?

Good points. It's not unprecedented for athletic QBs to get other shots in the NFL at other positions, and there have been many guys that have worked out better than say Eric Crouch. Even Jammal Lord got a shot at safety with the Texans. I hope he gets a shot, and moreso, I hope he can get fully healthy.
