Nate was too Swift for this thread.Nate Swift. 166 receptions, 14.9 yards per reception, 2,476 career NU receiving yards.
Maybe not underrated but definitely underappreciated. I assume because a lot of people thought he was a prima donnaI may catch flack, but I would also add Taylor Martinez to the mix.
T Mart was just 129 passing yards short of being 1 of but a handful of NCAA QB’s to ever join the 3000 passing 1000 rushing club.
Extremely under appreciated IMO. But also frustrating to watch him be so inconsistent. He was either very high or very low. I think more than anything, thats why people are so chasmed with Tmart.Maybe not underrated but definitely underappreciated. I assume because a lot of people thought he was a prima donna

I always say Jamal Lord would have been Tommie Frazier legendary status if they swapped teams.

Most people just don’t realize how freakish of an athlete he was. His 1st 2 seasons he didn’t even make the correct reads on zone read plays. He decided pre-snap if he was going to take or give. Now take that info and go rewatch his games and you’ll realize how crazy his running ability truly was.Yup. TMagic gets flack for never winning a conference title and his passing mechanics. But he did manage to get us INTO TWO conference championship games in two different conferences. And single-handedly rewrote the Husker record book.
And in the same vein, so did Tommy Armstrong. Both guys were 4 year starters and had as big a will to win as any Husker I've seen. We just never had all the supporting pieces in place.
If it had been possible to combine the 2010 Taylor Martinez's rushing ability with the 2012 Taylor Martinez's passing ability, he would have been the best Taylor Martinez ever.I may catch flack, but I would also add Taylor Martinez to the mix.
