Funny how some blowhard tweeter analyst can come to that conclusion watching a pro day. Now, if he spent a full season watching Iowa practice, I'd believe him."Skill set wasn’t maximized in the Iowa offense"
I hope not many recruits follow this guy.
Surprised brandon even ran again at the pro day with the 4.56 he had in Florida's combine. But he lost like 5 inches on his vertical. I understand 40 times being off but how do you lose 5inches on your vertical maybe his legs were dead?
If Nick ran a 4.45 40 time that is damn impressive. I think he should come back for another year, damn the NFL.
Kudos to Nick Niemann on a great performance at Pro Day!
Read somewhere else he ran a 4.62 or in that range. He also measured in heightwise as a shade under 6'2", which might be used as another knock on him.
I think Brandon was a guy that made some big plays but was not some game breaking wide receiver. The receivers before Brandon, Isaiah and Nick Easely arrived Brandon just seemed better. The Meerkat was always hurt and the other receivers were like that KMM guy (cannot remember his real name) and a couple of other guys Plus, to quote my father Old Fred, "built like a brick shithouse". But he was not very fast, did not have many big catches and was an above average college receiver.
ISM is no great route runner so he needs a lot of work on that skill but he's football significantly faster and can do a lot more with the ball once he gets it.
I've said if for two years, I do not think that Brandon could even play in the CFL. Could be wrong, hope I am wrong but I'm probably not.
Eh Brandon was on pace for a big season in 2019 had he not gotten hurt. Like 700+ yds and at least a few more TDs.
That + Petras' growing pains did him no favors.
Waiting on the draft write ups that call Niemann "sneaky athletic".

Wow Niemann is impressive...that’s top end athleticism. Funny part is I wouldn’t have guessed that from his time on the field...but awesome! Hope he turns into an all pro!
Definitely looks like a gymrat. Real gritty.
What was the original time you saw? I was about to respond to you saying 4.56 isn't bad at all. Antonio Brown ran a 4.56 at the combine.
That was earlier this month. The time I posted came from Monday.
Yes, thanks. That 4.56 has to be the best time of Brandon's life. Brandon will struggle getting separation with those times. If he had more of a super sharp quick cuts he could look for life at the Y. He's just not that kind of receiver. But, as always, love to see him in the NFL and have best hopes in that regard.

Brandon is going to wow teams with his strenth, leaping ability and overall size. A good pick for a run oriented team that could use some help blocking and making plays in the red zone. He is borderline, I realize but would predict practice squad for someone like Niners or Ravens.
He struggled getting separation against college guys. Wish him the best but not surprising.
