Bootle

Yeah I don't blame him for just not wanting to be in college any more. He just turned 24 btw.

I just think there's no way he gets drafted given that Ozigbo didn't after a breakout year. Mills was forgotten by his own playcaller, he'll have an uphill battle to stick on a roster as a UDFA.

Mills should not come back unless he hasn't finished his degree or he has nothing else to do next year except collect unemployment

For his own benefit or because he's not clearly the best RB Nebraska has?

Different position in the secondary, but uh, yeah.

I just don't think taking another year of abuse to his body is going to help his NFL aspirations. I'm assuming he'll graduate this year and has no interest in a post-graduate degree. IF that is the case, there's not time like now to test the waters. He's done enough at NU to get to a camp and from there it's all up to him. Good luck to him.

Mills is getting too old to wait. I think he's 26. JoJo IMO is a better prospect than Nate Gerry. I didn't think Gerry would stick so what do I know.

Gerry may have run his course in Philly. After a decent 2019, he was atrocious in 2020 and then got injured.

Bootle was an okay corner....he had the most TD passes given up 10 fold over anyone else. He is not a loss imo

Lincoln really needs to have a street named "Jabroni Boulevard." But, I digress.

I don't know if there's much in it for him to gain by staying unless he wants a post graduate degree. He's put as much on video as he probably can and likely would get signed as an UDFA at least. I would love to have him back but I won't hold my breath.

What you say is true enough sir. I'll just hope for the best.

He's got a couple of things going for him. He's young and his ability to play special teams. Teams tend to carry quite a few linebacker/hybrid types. He's fairly fast, has experience now and can cover pretty well so if he comes back healthy he'll probably have a spot somewhere.

I've been as big a supporter of Gerry as you'll find. But his coverage skills have completely disappeared this year. Teams have schemed towards him as a liability in coverage. Hope he can fix it, because I like his tenacity.
