      Derius Swinton: "boooring. Imagine the fastest white guy!"

      Joe Lombardi: "that's funny, might as well be from someplace like Iowa or something."

      Some young scout: "Mr Telesco here's your expresso. Oh if you guys want a really fast white guy from Iowa check out Nick Niemann."

      TT: okay whatever. "make the call we're picking Norm Nickmann or whatever his name is."

            Definitely an upgrade for ST.
            Wouldn't ever expect see him in on any D packages though.
            Ghachkar/Dzubnar type, with more speed.

              Seems like a ST player.

                Good! We absolutely need an upgrade in that phase of the game

                    I like him because (I think) Iowa asks their LB to key the backfield instead of the OL. You tend to see Iowa LB biting on backfield action way more than a lot of other teams. And sometimes it bites them. You see Niemann and their other LB 44, and they bit on misdirection and weird backfield actions a lot.

                    NFL defenses just key the OL. You really don't need to know what the backfield is doing so much, so long as you read the blocking. The blocking will tell you where the ball is going.

                    He also flashes stretches were he really seem to know what the O is doing. I think a lot of guys like him, they start to get more time studying film both in terms of how well they do it (more experience) and more film study per week, can really step up their game and look more instinctive, and make a lot more plays.

                    Anyway, I think he is as good as some of the LB we have, can play well on ST... very little risk to this pick.

                      I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that he's a better pick than Te'o!

                        Looks like the Bears signed Teo to a 1.3K contract in 2020. didn't know you can go that low.

                        Edit: must be practice squad.
