'12 IL WR Jordan Westerkamp (Nebraska Verbal)

[Whiskeyjack]

More to the point, his measurables are perfect for the Z: 6'1'', 200 lbs, 4.5 40, 41'' vert, and 290 bench press SRM.

Unless the kid has character issues, you could justify an offer based on those stats alone.

Molnar didn't like this kid? WTF!?

I think Charley may have been spending too much time working on his hair rather than watching film of Jordan!

ISD has a new article up, as they talked to his coach. Not a lot of time on my hands right now, but I will say that he's completely torn, that he had a fantastic visit, and it looks like it's 50/50 right now. Will prob decide over the break.

Man that's a lot of pressure on a 17 year old kid. I don't envy the decisions these kids have to make.

 

[TerryTate]

He'll decide within the next week, but we made a huge impression

official? or youre opinion?

ND v. Nebraska isn't really a tough choice, but perhaps I'm a little biased.

 

[Riddickulous]

Nebraska verbal, my ***.

Hoping it's ND. I think momma wins out here.

GB, is this your gut or a deepthroat talking?

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

This guy could easily be a FB.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

He is just trying to figure out how to tell this guy he isn't coming to Nebraska.

...and I don't know why I think this is so funny. It is very dumb actually. But I still always laugh.

New highlights from the playoffs. Beastly.

Way to get it back on topic, Lax.

Dare I say Jordan reminds me of....

wait for it....








Wes Welker?

I'd agree with that. A taller Wes Welker.

Wes Welker?

Haha he really does... and not in the "OMG it's a white WR" kind of way. Just a very sound player who could be super productive in college.

 

[TerryTate]

I loved getting coached by coaches like BK/Saban..

Come on

 

[NYMIKE6]

Really Welker? come one..... He has serious skills but not quite to the level of Wes. Reminds more more of a Jordy Nelson watch his K state highlights.

Doesn't really remind of Jordy at all.

 

[irish4ever]

Yes, a very sound player who could be super productive in college. I hope he switches to the Irish ... he's a "keeper"!

 

[NYMIKE6]

Doesn't really remind of Jordy at all.

agree to disagree my friend. sorry you don't see it the way i do.

Westerkamp is rangy long strider that can out jump competition and line-up inside and out.
Now i can see if you say Neal reminds you of Welker the similarities would be obvious.

 

[rocket31]

wes walker? um, no. just because they are both light-skinned doesnt mean they have similar styles on the football field...

I'm with you here.

Wes Welker 5'9"
Jordy Nelson 6'3"
Jordan Westerkamp 6'2" hmm...

Yes Jordan runs a lot of underneath routes ala Welker, but the fades and long balls he looks like Nelson. I also agree with you that Jordan is lanky and a long strider. I like the comparison to Nelson.

He does run a lot of underneath routes but thats to take advantage of his athleticism and speed against that level of competition. He does not have the burst of a true slot receiver because of his stride. He has more in-line speed then shiftiness IMO he seems better suited to play outside. But i like the fact he does run crossing routes, drags and bubbles because thats what we run.

Just for the record skin tone is irrelevant.... Who knows if he adds some muscle mass he could remind a lot of people of Dez Bryant at Okie st. Funny long stride catches everything thrown his way and out jumps defenders.

 

[BeauBenken]

Welker does not have the jump ball ability that Westerkamp does...

 

[t3hjc]

Jordy Nelson's actually a speed guy.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Jordy Nelson's actually a speed guy.

Ran a 4.51 40 yard dash at the NFL combine. I wouldn't say he is a speed guy. Tedd Ginn, Hayword-Bay, Torey Smith, Mike Wallace those are speed guys.

NYMIKE: how many vbucks would it take for you to change your avatar? That has to be the grossest thing I've ever seen. I can't read your posts because I can see your avatar in my peripheral vision and it is going to make me physically ill.
