The MAIN reason I’m not freaking out over Onyemata’s suspension
It opens the door for Ironhead Jr. How cool would that be if Nielson polishes that diamond. We will need some people to step up but he's definitely a coach that gets results. I'm exited about Tuttle and Roach year 2.
😂
I think you mighta meant Lorenzo Neal Jr!
But I got it, as well as your other points, n I agree!
As for Neal, I recently saw a podcast on him earlier, n it was pretty interesting n informative. Of course, the host brought up his pedigree. His dad was drafted by the Saints back in ‘93 n ended up playing 16 years in the NFL. He talked about Neals college career. He said it started of pretty well, with Neal was putting together a resume’ that could have made him a mid to high level draft pick. But an ACL injury really set him back. Then along came COVID, which prevented him from rehabbing n working as much as he needed to get back to 💯 %, n hurt his draft stock.
But when he was healthy, you could see the potential n upside he had to play in the NFL. So the Saints brought him in for a tryout at their rookie minicamp, liked what they saw, and signed him.
But finally, like you, the host brought up Coach Nielsen, n his ability to teach n “coach up” his players. So if there’s an NFL player somewhere inside of Lorenzo Neal Jr, then , IMO, Coach Nielsen IS the man who can get it outta him!
