|BlackJesus| Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 ^ Felton can give Zac all of Cleveland's shitty plays now too for week 1. 😎 Clowns fans were calling for their team to sign Semenian to steal our plays, until Duke hit em with the reverse Uno card first.

Did we ever add a 16th player to the ps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing they are leaving some wiggle room while waiting to see how some injuries shake out (Ossai, TBD, etc). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|BlackJesus| Posted September 5 Report Share Posted September 5 As a Nebraska fan I like the signing of Nelson. He's a weight room beast who could develop with time (only a rookie). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWeston Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 40. GARRETT NELSON | Nebraska 6032 | 248 lbs. | 4SR Scottsbluff, Neb. (Scottsbluff) 3/1/2000 (age 23.16) #44 BACKGROUND: Garrett Nelson, who is the youngest of three boys, was born and raised in Gering in the Nebraska panhandle (25 miles from the Wyoming border). He started playing football at the YMCA youth league and played several other sports throughout his childhood, including wrestling. In eighth grade, Nelson switched school districts and attended Scottsbluff Senior High School. A three-year varsity letterman, he became a starter as a sophomore and accounted for 67 tackles, 8.0 tackles for loss and 5.0 sacks. As a junior, Nelson earned All-State honors with 44 tackles, 11.0 tackles for loss and 9.0 sacks while adding 133 rushing yards. He led Scottsbluff to a 12-1 record as a senior with the team’s only loss coming in the 2018 state championship game. Nelson earned All-State honors as a senior with 39 tackles and 4.0 sacks. He also lettered in wrestling and won the Class B heavyweight title as a junior and was a state qualifier at 220 pounds in 2017. A three-star recruit, Nelson was the No. 50 weakside defensive end in the 2019 recruiting class and the No. 3 recruit in Nebraska. In the summer after his sophomore season, he received his first scholarship offer, from Nebraska, which was his dream school and the alma mater of his parents. A week later, Nelson became the first commit in the Cornhuskers’ 2019 class and shut down his recruitment. His father (Chris) was a two-time All-American wrestler at Nebraska (1987-92) and finished his career with 101-37-3 record, setting school records for dual victories in a season (21 in 1989-90). Garrett’s mother (Holli) is the daughter of longtime high school football coach Ken Parish, who won the 1969 state title at Cozad (Neb.) High School. Nelson graduated with his finance degree (May 2022). He accepted his invitation to the 2023 NFLPA Collegiate Bowl. YEAR (GP/GS) TKLS TFL SACK FF PD INT NOTES 2019: (11/0) 15 1.5 0.0 0 0 0 2020: (8/8) 30 4.0 1.5 0 0 0 2021: (12/12) 57 11.5 5.0 1 2 0 Led team in TFL, sacks 2022: (12/12) 65 9.0 5.5 1 2 0 Second Team All-Big Ten; Led team in TFL, sacks; Team captain Total: (43/32) 167 26.0 12.0 2 4 0 HT WT ARM HAND WING 40-YD 20-YD 10-YD VJ BJ SS 3C BP COMBINE N/A (not invited) PRO DAY 6032 248 31 5/8 9 5/8 78 3/4 4.91 2.77 1.66 35 9’7” 4.18 7.24 22 STRENGTHS: Looks like an action figure with his sculpted, yoked-up upper body … plays quick and controlled to maneuver in small spaces … has developed sound hand usage to fight through traffic … raucous play style creates second-effort paths to the football … doesn’t beat himself (flags and missed tackles were uncommon on his 2022 tape) … driven focus and competitive toughness will win over NFL coaches … voted a team captain and genuinely cares about developing relationships with all of his teammates (former head coach Scott Frost: “Garrett is probably the best leader we’ve had at Nebraska in a long time.”) … was a regular on punt return and punt coverage teams … started every game the last three seasons (32 straight starts). WEAKNESSES: Below-average arm length and struggles to stack and shed the point … doesn’t explode out of his stance and lacks the speed to consistently threaten the corner (4.91 40-yard dash backs up the tape) … inconsistent body bend to carve tight edges … too segmented in his rush attack, delaying his counter measures … allows blockers to cross, reach and seal him in the run game … lacks the recovery quickness to close ground in pursuit of the football … lacks ideal range and joint flexibility to drop and cover large spaces as a linebacker … owns a trim, muscular frame but only average mass, especially in his lower half. SUMMARY: A three-year starter at Nebraska, Nelson played on the edge in the Cornhuskers’ four-man base front, lining up in either a two- or three-point stance. He was one of the few dependable players on the Huskers’ “Blackshirts” defense the last few seasons, leading the team in both tackles for loss and sacks his junior and senior seasons. Nelson is an average-twitch player who struggles to gain enough ground with his first step or react to elusive runners in space. Although his shortcomings are apparent, he maximizes his talent with his movement efficiency and GPS for the football. Overall, Nelson’s limitations regrettably come in critical areas (speed and length) for playing the position, but he is a locked-in competitor with short-area quickness and football character that will endear himself to NFL coaches. He draws similarities to Kenny Willekes as a potential rotational end or SAM linebacker. GRADE: Priority Free Agent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
