Thank you for the correction.

Really surprised he wasn't drafted.Coyote wrote: Sun Apr 29, 2018 9:55 am Wide receiver De’Mornay Pierson-El has signed with the Washington Redskins.
From what I could find he will get a signing bonus of about $140,000 with a 4 yr rookie contract of approx $2.6 million --- https://overthecap.com/draft/ So even if he doesn't make it past training camp -- $140,000 not bad pay for a few months work.GrandpaaSmucker wrote: Sun Apr 29, 2018 5:47 pm I can't believe Tanner Lee got drafted. Just the same I am not changing my prediction that Tanner Lee will never play a down in the NFL. Jacksonville must be desperate and figured they would take a look at him in camp and maybe get lucky. I'm pretty sure they don't have to pay him unless he makes the team. He won't make the team.
At least he’ll get paid for being a training camp body, lol...Uffda wrote: Sun Apr 29, 2018 7:59 pmFrom what I could find he will get a signing bonus of about $140,000 with a 4 yr rookie contract of approx $2.6 million --- https://overthecap.com/draft/ So even if he doesn't make it past training camp -- $140,000 not bad pay for a few months work.GrandpaaSmucker wrote: Sun Apr 29, 2018 5:47 pm I can't believe Tanner Lee got drafted.

It does support the theory that the previous 2 coaches were bad judges of talent and failures at recruiting.nebugeater wrote: Mon Apr 30, 2018 5:27 pm Who would have thought he would be "the guy" to keep the draft streak alive.

Now wouldn't most of Riley's first recruits be this coming year seniors or red-shirt juniors and most of the seniors this past year would have been Pelini's?GrandpaaSmucker wrote: Mon Apr 30, 2018 7:51 pmIt does support the theory that the previous 2 coaches were bad judges of talent and failures at recruiting.nebugeater wrote: Mon Apr 30, 2018 5:27 pm Who would have thought he would be "the guy" to keep the draft streak alive.
Considering how the last few years have been that could be spun as a good thing.Big E wrote: Wed May 02, 2018 11:24 am http://www.omaha.com/huskers/football/s ... fbed1.html
Pretty much sums up everything you need to know about the "talent" level over the last 20 years.
Oh and while I'm at it there isn't an eligible QB on the roster that has taken a snap in a football game since late 2016.

He was so far out of his element it could have been an episode of the Twilight Zone
Director of Player DevelopmentBrown served as an assistant from 1987 through 2003 and again from 2008 to through 2014. Frost quarterbacked the team in the 1996 and 1997 seasons.

If I were to guess this fill the position slot that Billy Devaney had that was Exec Director of Player Personnel
I know there are a few that think he is not a good hire but I for one think this is a great addition to the staff and can only help build a good future for the Huskers.

I speak for no one but myself here, but the "what not" you're referring to is his lobbying the Omaha city council to not protect the LGBT community from employment discrimination because magic or something, I guess.

I know it ain't gonna be a popular opinion in Huskerdom these days, but add it to the list of things to bring up the next time the World Herald runs a "brain-drain" or "how come no one moves to Nebraska?" article.
Why should he? He wouldn't be back unless there was a number of people that wanted him back also.
