I'd bet money... Nobody denied Nico may be a work in progress (he has been), but he has all the tools. His stock dropped because of lack of current tape and time -- he opted out in 2020 because of COVID. I predict him to be a very solid contributor this season. And again, if the theory is false that means the FO had Schwartz graded higher. I sincerely hope that wasn't the case.
Yeah I really loved a lot of aspects of Nico's tape....him being physical, routes, strong hands, 50/50 ability, playing to his frame, blocking etc. I think he ran a 4.48 (can't remember) but he has some big play flair, despite not being a burner. He suffered from poor QB play (then again Schwartz QB sucked too...I think it was Bo Nix) And you knew he would take a little more time with his covid opt out. But I too expect him to put some strong games up this year, as he should get some ample playing time.
