Not so Swift?
It comes as no surprise to Nebraska football fans that former Cornhuskers’ wide receiver Nate Swift came away from last week’s NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis with less than glowing reviews of his physical abilities.
According to The Sporting News Today, “scouts timed (Swift) between 4.66 and 4.69 seconds (in the 40-yard dash) and he did not show the necessary explosive ability. Swift didn’t look at quicker or faster in drills. He remains a likely free-agent prospect.”
What pro teams might do well to notice is that despite his supposed deficiencies, Swift is Nebraska’s all-time receptions leader (166) and ranks second in career receivers yards (2.476) while playing in the Big 12 Conference. Surely, those numbers should count for something.
