Nagel is leading the B1G in recieving. If he keeps at this pace (realistically speaking, a hard task) what would you consider his NFL chances?

Anybody who leads the BIG in receiving has a decent shot at the NFL. Think Austin Carr. Scott Frost was very candid post-game about saying that Nebraska simply couldn't cover him. Flynn has excellent speed and he get's open. He had 220 yards receiving against UNL. (But GCG says his chances are not great, so we'll just have to wait and see.)
He had guys draped all over him and still made sensational catches. He will be first team All Big Ten!
Actually, Lamar Jackson is decent, but he ended up not covering Flynn most of the time. The other corner, WIlliams, had a day reminiscent of our old Keystone Kops days at the position; when he wasn't beat, he held, and sometimes both on the same play...
No,it was Williams, #24. Bootle had penaltes as well and played badly, but I think he was covering Jefferson more. They did play zone a lot as well, with fairly disastrois results...
History seems to bear this out.

Lippett of MSU is a recent one with no NFL receiver career to speak of - but he made it as a corner.
About like Carr. Not going to get anyone to draft him high but he would get a chance in a camp
Perhaps he can flynagel his way into the NFL, like he flynageled 220 yards out of Nebraska!!! I'm betting on Flynn!
If he continues to have big games, I wonder if the home crowd could could call out FLYNAGEL! after every reception like they did THE BALL CARRIER! after JJ's runs. Things like that pump up the crowd when they work.
My kids already do that. He's been "Flynnnagel" ever since he joined the team.
Problem was, NU threw the ball 64 times, which means 39 snaps he was single covered!
Dang!!
