Mike McNeill Update

[knapplc]

Word on the street is that Mike McNeill has been signed to the Colts' practice squad.

About 8 different folks have tweeted this and Mike did say he was off to practice a few hours ago.

Good for him.

 

[The Dude]

"Why the F#&K is this under HUSKER football?!?!"

:lol:

Not a huge fan of Mike but I'm happy for him.

I always thought he would catch on with some team in the NFL. I thought he'd be a good fit for the Colts (with Manning) or the Patriots in their short game.

He would be a great fit with the Patriots. Too bad they have the best TE combo in the league.

Any particular reason? I don't remember him getting into much trouble or anything. I thought he was a little underutilized if anything.

Because you've never played Husker football and are having pipe dreams?

I was hoping this was going to say he made it UP from the practice team. I figured he was already on the PT... Oh well..at least it's in the right direction.

Mostly his attitude. I'll leave it at that.

So even Mike McNeil is a better QB than Curtis Painter...

He actually got cut recently. So this is a promotion.

I obviously don't know Mike M personally, but I didn't see attitude last year when he was switched to wide receiver from tight end. It cut his catches numbers way down. Taylor M was/is not a thread the needle type of QB and McNeil's numbers suffered because of it. He had to be frustrated to work his butt off the get open only to have the ball thrown at his feet or sale over his head. He showed he had great hands in several games his soph and jr years.
