I think he would have been better for us with our new WR coach.

Neyor did well at the combine

Nothing wrong with his measurables . He just gets lazy when he is in the game . He doesn’t fight for the ball and runs lazy patterns.
Perhaps if he had the right kind of coach working with him he would play with more focus and effort. We laughed when he declared for the draft but yeah if he has the measurements needed he will get looked at. Correct the effort and he could be decent.
Hard to know if Neyor could’ve been better with a qualified WR coach? Also hard to convince myself it’s not a real possibility. I was super critical of the Skippy McQuire hire. That’s when I still posted on the “insider” (lol) board and people freaked out at those of us who criticized the hire. But Neyor may be the exact type of situation I expanded upon when Rhule hired Skippy. A 23 year old coach will not be able to push or motivate kids that need to be pushed. They won’t respect him enough to let him coach them hard, eventually the inmates will be running the asylum and less than acceptable results will fallow. I guess we’ll see if Neyor actually catches on in the league. Kinda telling if he does…
Coaching can make a big difference. But two things point me away from Neyor being too much better. One is the situation at Texas. That dudes ass was glued to the bench, even in garbage time. The second thing is Dana H. telling him, "no, we're good" last December. Two different situations, but it doesn't shed a good light on the kid unless one launches into a long explanation about circumstances, etc.
If Neyor is serious about the NFL, he shouldn't need anyone to "push or motivate him". No doubt that last year's coach didn't get much of anything out of Neyor, but neither did Texas which is sending four high draft pick WRs into the league in a two year stretch.

Yeah, glad we replaced him. That WR coach was a clown. One of many buddy hires that should not have been made. We now have a decent staff.
Classic case of measurables vs. production. Ask yourself if you would be thrilled if your favorite NFL team drafted him. I wouldn't.
You don't need a coach to learn how to catch
Eh… yes and no. You probably don’t need a coach to learn how to catch a ball, it came very naturally to me. But if you don’t have great hands, you may need a coach to motivate and push you to work on your hands.
Combines are great at finding workout warriors, but the relevance to NFL potential is not so clear cut. Anthony Richardson may have had the most impressive combine of any qb prospect ever — including Cam Newton — and he appears to have been a huge draft mistake. He was mediocre in college and that should have been a huge red flag, just as perhaps it should be for Neyor.
He tested and looked exactly like a number 1 NFL WR should. Unfortunately he doesn't play like one. At least he didn't for us. Either way I expect someone to fall in love with his numbers and take a shot on him. I wish him luck. Once a Husker....

He just seemed to make a couple of critical drops in critical situations. Considering what Coleman did is a freshman, I am more saddened by that potential that was lost.
I don’t care what he does in the combine. He sucked here.
Well, it certainly doesn’t help us now. It does give us an idea of how much potential people had.
Agreed about Neyor. Not sure about Coleman. From all I've heard it was a "want to" thing with him. So for me it's kinda 6 one way a half a dozen the other. Put a guy like Jacoby's heart in either one of those guys and u likely see a different animal.

Clifford Franklin had pretty good measurables and was a speedster also...
Potential is what we pay millions to coaches for. Their job to maximise potential.
Our coaches have performed poorly there for many years.
The NFL values athletic freaks, things you can’t coach. They are willing to take a swing on somebody that fits that bill. College productivity matters, but not as much as freak athleticism.
And those guys will never make it in the NFL. The numbers coming out of the combine are insane. There are a lot of guys who tested well AND are good football players.
The quality of coaches in the college ranks varies greatly. The NFL knows this, and will assume they can fix some coachable things when the player has the athletic measurables.
Yep... and Neyor gave up and took his bike and went home after being called out. If we all had to put our life savings on what the real problem was in the WR room. My money would be on Satterfield not being capable of creating an offensive identity that the WR/QB's could be comfortable in.
He just wasn't a big moment player for us. I'd rather have receivers that catch everything in sight and are relentless in route running and blocking than a guy with speed that drops passes and won't win the contested ball.
You were describing Toure in the first part. Neyor in the 2nd. Toure is still hanging around the NFL. Neyor is going to have to majorly up his game to hang around even that long.
