Nebraska is on a short list

Except you can look at the average star ranking of the player, coming out of high school, and compare to others.

Beyond 5* which is obvious to everyone, That ratings are bunk-click bait for a cottage industry

STFU . .Newby....TA missed many throws...but these receivers were hit and miss every other game....and dropped the ball in big games except West and occasionally Reily....When was the last time Moore played, Morgan can only get open on rubs on a crossing pattern...I watch these games at least 6 times after the game before the next......They don't get open consistently...no matter what BS you try to say........And if they do, maybe the QB doesn't see them cause he has a junior high line blocking for him while he is throwing from the pocket at 6ft.

Our QB saved our season.....next year's QB will be my favorite because it's about Nebraska not the player.

I'm not a delusional fan and ignore the rest of the garbage that showed up on the field like you.

Garbage is a bit harsh, but one had to laugh a little when the columnist and talking heads on local radio mocked Iowa's talent vs ours. People don't use eyeballs anymore, they use talking points

Devils advocate may say he had good talent but under-performed on the coaching side.

No.

]Was this sarcasm? Sorry sometimes it gets lost in writing. Because Westy & BR have the goods for the NFL. It's been a Slotty league for a few years now. Literally go down the list of NFL teams and a ton of teams top WR is a slot. Baldwin (SEA), Crowder (Was), Laundry (Mia), Edelman (NE), Fitz (AZ), Matthews (PHI), & Tate (Det) to name a few.

Then you have the slots who may not be the #1 guy on their teams but are straight up ballers, Sanders (Den), Cobb (GB), Decker (NYJ) though hurt, & Cole Beasley is having a monster year.

Westy is a perfect fit for every team in the NFL. This is what they are calling the golden age of slot receivers. JW will be on your fantasy football team in 3 years and a must start in PPR leagues. With that being said, I still think he's a FA sign due to injury risks.

I don't see Zo making the cut. He has speed, athletic ability, and a little size but so do many unemployed ex-college football stars. I could be wrong but he primarily plays on the outside correct? I know that Brandon R also did too but I think he translates better to the inside in the NFL. And honestly, call me crazy but when it's all said & done, I could see Morgan being the best of all of them[/COLOR]

If we're being real, Westerkamp is arguably not even in the top 3 slot receivers in the Big 10 this year. If I'm building an NFL team, I'd take Peavy, Samuel, and Carr before Westerkamp to play in the slot. They are all bigger and faster players with production. Westerkamp will get his shot, I just think it's an uphill battle for him.

As for Zo, I think he has the best chance precisely for the reasons you listed. It's harder to find receivers with that combo; not hard to find 5'10" 180 pound slot receivers with no top end speed.
