Sounds good on Nwaneri

This would be massive. Boosters must have opened the checkbook
But everybody said we needed a dc that could bring in his former players….
Question for those in the know and also for the fact I'm too lazy to google...
Did he play a lot this past year at Mizzou? Stats?

if this ends up being the fruits of the new defensive staff's labor i will happily eat crow.

We have his HS coach on our staff.
According to several sources, he played in only 4 games this year and recorded a whopping 2 tackles. I'm not going to celebrate just yet.
Oh. Player relationships beyond your dc make a difference?
Mozee and Simpson are legit SEC style recruiters. Can't hurt having a Chiefs guy on staff for a KC kid.
This is for all the folks that keep downplaying our defense personal that is leaving...
This guy is great, but we are losing two great ones as well

First RoundReminds Us Of
Arik ArmsteadSan Francisco 49ersFront-line star with rare combination of physical tools and verified athleticism. Elite height with huge hands and long arms. Played senior year in 6-6, 260 neighborhood and could easily get to 290-plus in college. Edge athleticism with true interior physical upside. Moved from an edge to a DL projection entering senior year and showed in Fall 2023 more reasons for that switch. Capable of playing in space with adequate dip-and-bend flexibility, but excels as a stack-and-shed assailant at the point of attack. Plays well through contact, increasingly as a senior. Displays wide pursuit range fueled by that aforementioned athleticism. Considerable height naturally raises center of gravity/compromises pad level in some situations. Plays at one speed at times and can change up his pacing to enhance pass-rushing nuance. Great production as a junior with 13 sacks, but dipped as a senior (6). Still developing technique and football awareness, but truly one of the elite defensive prospects in the 2024 cycle. Projects as a high-major impact player with the physical specs and long-term upside to become a Day 1 draft candidate.
Pete Nakos predicted, huh? I think he is younger than our former teenage wide receiver coach. I’ll wait a bit to get excited🤣
I’m waiting for National Analist’s evaluation
If James Williams is the 16th best player in the portal then wow, what a down year. We must truly be amazing at development to have taken a kid who no one offered after a year of JUCO to the 16th best player in the portal a year and a half later.
i for one am going to really miss Princewill's 0.5 sack contribution.
Do you truly think James Williams is a top 15 portal guy? Dude was third string on a 6-6 team. Would you take James or Williams Nwaneri if given the choice.
well without a doubt I take my chances on Nwaneri, but I still liked William and Princewill. Two of our better players IMO
Waiting for Wilson Dittman’s prediction?
Yeah that's just because Skulz and Bonz was tying up his cell phone ....
THIS is the kind of guy we need at edge. He's 3x the player of any edge/DE we've had in a long time.
