Who signs a contract in the NFL

Alumni

Just saw a tweet of the players at the nebraska pro-day. Stan will get drafted, maybe ozigbo, the rest are going to have to go undrafted free agent. When the dust settles who do you think gets a shot at the league?

​

Conrad

Farmer

Foster

Neal

Ober

Farmer just put up 39 reps on bench, which would be tied for 1st in all of the combine. He also just had a 9-10 broad jump which would be first among all lineman

Yeah I saw some twitter video of him back working on his hips. No man that big should move that fast. He might just get drafted. Loving it.

Holy shit

Putting my money on the Bill's drafting him round 7

He's on his way. Huge numbers.

Yeah be he was habitually getting destroyed in technique by opposing d-linemen this year. No way he gets drafted, maybe hits the PS at best.

Technique can be taught.

Seriously the NFL loves their measurables. Every team thinks they can coach circles around any college staff so they’ll draft guys purely based on 40 and hand size

Most likely he'll get signed as a UDFA.

I'd be surprised if Freedom did.

HCwellOP•

I'm thinking he might show out athletically. Foster apparently put up less bench reps than gifford so he gone.

5

He was so bad lol. Not surprising.

8
HCwellOP•

He never learned how to prepare. Farmer might get drafted at this rate. He is killing these numbers.

3

Eh I’d be surprised. I could see him signing a practice squad/preseason type contract tho

He was a pretty good center too. Something pro teams really value.

HCwellOP•

I guess Freedom put up 19 so maybe not.

2
Ghiggs_Boson•

Devine with 19 reps on bench, 37” vertical

per Evan Bland on Twitter - In his second sprint, Ozigbo runs a low 4.5 (4.53ish).

Pretty solid

That’s good enough

2
HCwellOP•

Not sure how they prioritize the drills but I'd think the vert is more important evaluating a rb than the bench. Vert was pretty good.

Dedrick Young may have earned some UDFA offers today.

He reportedly ran a 40 times between high 4.4s and 4.51, with good results in other events as well. Any chance Dedrick Young is Will Compton 2.0, a Husker ILB who played a lot, made a lot of tackles but was widely considered slow and unimpressive by the fans... who then had a great pro day, got an NFL free agent offer, and has had a very nice pro career?

HCwellOP•

He lit it up. 4 year starter. Timid on the field maybe but I could definitely see him being a compton 2

kingbrasky•

Compton still annoys me. He was slow as shit and lackluster his whole husker career and then somehow becomes NFL-calibre?

2
BarryMawhcockiner•

Iam guess his coaches were telling him to play that way.

1
HCwellOP•

They always had him match up on a running back coming out of the backfield with a 2 step headstart. Bo's defense wasn't flexible enough.

I don’t think it’s likely he will last in the NFL

However I’d love to be wrong

Where are you guys getting the results? Please share!!

2
HCwellOP•

twitter

lafn1996•

Which account? Looked at all the Husker accounts I follow; not seeing results on any of them

1
HCwellOP•

its been several of them. Severe put out numbers. Christopherson was putting out numbers. Some other guy I follow is there. Then the videos I'm seeing were from husker or work out trainer accounts that got retweeted by players I follow.
